WBI Places 4th in District Event

A message from Westside Boiler Invasion Robotics Team

Good morning everyone,

Westside Boiler Invasion had a great weekend co-hosting and competing at the Lafayette District Event! We ended the qualifications rounds ranked 14th with an 8-8 record and were picked up by Tiger Dynasty from Fishers to join them and Team Hammond from Hammond to go through the playoffs. Unfortunately, our run through the bracket was cut short when a key part of our intake mechanism broke in the middle of our semi-final match, leading our alliance to a 4th place overall finish.

As usual for our home event, our corner of the WL community came out in droves to help make everything happen. From the parents & students that came early to set up the event & stayed late to tear it all down, to the alumni that came back to volunteer, to our WLIS LEGO Robotics teams that came to show off what they worked on this fall, to our Purdue family connections that brought in their colleagues from across campus to show all of the attendees how the skills they're building in this program can lead them to impactful, cutting-edge places in their future, our community enables us to run fantastic events.

We're back at it at the State Championship at the State Fairgrounds April 18th & 19th.

Thanks,
Brad Thompson
Mentor Lead, Team Lead, Software, Media, & Operations
