Re: WPI Regional
Team 558 had a great time at the WPI regional! One of our students, who will be attending WPI next year, got the $10,000 scholarship, we were able to get our pneumatic shooter (aka the lampshade of doom) working well in autonomous and teleop modes, and our driver, who is a freshman, gained some valuable experience. Our human player managed to score not one but TWO three point shots, one in practice and one in the elmination round. We are looking forward to CT in two weeks, when we will have our bridge deflector on and our optical sensors fully operational.
Special thanks to team 23 for picking us! It was a pleasure playing with you and 1687. We put up a good fight against the number two alliance and eventual winner.
And extra special congrats to our scouting partners and winners, Apple Pi, team 2067!!! You guys were amazing to scout with, and fun to play with and against. We can't wait to work with you again in CT!!
