If you want to see our match schedule (not up yet, check back around 930?), wins, losses and all the teams we are competing against this weekend, check out https://t.co/tGkKimYmx3 and scroll down to Portsmouth.
It's another weekend of FRC competition with @FIRSTChesapeake. This weekend, the @CuCPS Aftershocks are in Portsmouth at Churchland High School. If you'd like to follow along, there will be a livestream on https://t.co/MVlM4qu155 starting at 10.
We finished the event with 19 district points that count towards our advancement to the District Championship. Next event is in 2 weeks in Portsmouth and the field of competitors is slightly less stacked with World Championship teams. I am super proud of the team's performance.
Final update for @CuCPS Aftershocks' weekend in Blacksburg.
We were knocked out in the semifinals by the Number 1 seeded alliance and the Number 4 Alliance. The team performed incredibly well especially considering that none of them have ever been to a regular season event.
After a full day of qualification matches, @CuCPS Aftershocks robotics team is placed 16th out of 34 with 4 wins, 3 losses and 2 ties. We pick it up again in the morning. We will play more qualification matches tomorrow and then a double elimination bracket with the top 24 teams
A couple of things before I hit the bed. Today, we hit a few new personal bests: highest ever average match score and highest ever offensive power rating. It's been a super long day but in the end I'm proud of the team's performance, poise and behavior today. They did a great job
Final update for the day! We placed as high as 6th at one point and finished up 20th in a field of 37 teams. There were a few unforced errors on our part, that's fine. We have to learn somehow. :-) Kids and I are in good spirits and headed to find something for an early dinner.
It's 7AM and @CuCPS FTC Team 17430 is already 2 hours from home travelling to a competition at Harrisonburg High School. The livestream will be up on https://t.co/YrDVkPGAG3
Occasionally I have a good idea that the kids jump into with both feet. Groups of students came up with a setting, characters & plot and then animated it with the robotic arms. These ladies are preparing a full on scene with music, accents and a proposal. #wearecucps#gotec
@CuCPS@_aftershocks@HighCumberland These 4 have been with me since I started @CuCPS. We have won, lost, & tied matches. This year, the teamwon their first event and I couldn't be more proud. I have been thrilled to have them as team members. I am excited to see where they will go and what they will do.
The Aftershocks have five matches today: #44 at 9:18, #56 at 11:06, #64 1:09, #72 at 2:21, #85 at 4:18. You can follow along at https://t.co/MVlM4qu155
Our research says it's going to be a tough day. :-) wish us luck!
The Aftershocks finished today's matches 2-2. We have a FULL day of matches tomorrow and Saturday. At the moment, that puts us in 30th in a field of the 60 best teams in Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. It has been a relaxed, peaceful day with an awesome group of students.
