Beal City Robotics Team competes at the State Championship – The Morning Sun

The Beal City Robotics Team Gadget Agents continues on to compete in the State Championship after competing in their 2nd qualifying competition.

The qualifying competition previously occurred earlier in April at Walled Lake Central.

They made it to playoff matches as the 8th seed alliance captains and lost in the tiebreaker match in the quarter finals, Beal City Robotic Team coach Kathleen Rau said. It is noteworthy that they also earned the Quality Award at Walled Lake for the design, fabrication, and robust robot they built. Their robot didnt need to be repaired at all during this competition.

While this is an amazing achievement, their coach is most proud of them for their Gracious Professionalism in helping another team completely rebuild part of their robot after it broke during match play. Weve been there, we know what its like to struggle as a small, newer team, so our build team was more than happy to be able to help them, like other teams have helped us in the past. That type of cooperative, supportive, competition is what I love about FIRST.

The team is currently competing at Saginaw Valley State University from April 13-16 for the State Championship.

Going into the state competition they are ranked 98 out of 459 teams, with 79 ranking points, Rau said. Were looking forward to a great week of competition and having a lot of fun.
