A message from WestSide Boiler Invasion Robotics Team
Good morning everyone,
Westside Boiler Invasion had a good start of our competition season up at Penn High School this weekend! After struggling through the first third of the event chasing down electrical gremlins, we followed up with a solid showing throughout the rest of the qualification rounds, ending in 14th with a record of 6-6. We were picked up by 6th-ranked Tiger Dynasty from Fishers and joined by Team Hammond from Hammond to go through the playoff bracket, where we made it to the semi-finals before being eliminated.
We also won our 9th Impact Award this weekend. This is the most prestigious award in FIRST, given to teams that best represent a model for other teams to follow and embody FIRST's mission of inspiring youth both on our team & in our community to become science & technology leaders.
West Side junior Hafsa Heryadi was also selected as one of two FIRST Leadership Award Semi-finalists from this event. This award recognizes individual students that embody FIRST's core values and are real champions for the program, and she'll be up for the finalist award at the state championship.
We compete again at the Lafayette District Event at Lafayette Jeff on March 27-28. We would love to see you there!
Thank you all!
