Celt-X 5406 had a great time at Ruckus too! It was great to catch up with some of our US friends from last year's event, and from the Pittsburgh regional (hat tip to 1126 and 1559). The venue was amazing, as always. The organization and volunteers were stellar. Thank you all!
We had the good fortune to bring a whole bus full of students, half of whom were rookie members. I'm confident their first taste of competition (and scouting) will hook them for the 2017 season. The event gave our new drive teams some real match experience, and they made us proud. Our pit team got a workout too, as our robot Squirt is definitely showing its age, and systems are starting to go (apologies to our alliance mates for Finals Match 2
We'd like to thank our Playoff partners Code Red, Team 639 and CIA, Team 291 for their amazing performances and camaraderie. It was an honour (and a bit confusing) to see our whole alliance wearing Celt-X green! Congratulations to Ranger Robotics, Team 3015, our Robodrome-mates MakeShift Robotics, Team 5406, and Orbit Robotics, Team 1360 for their well-earned win.
Now that Ontario is under the District model, we won't have as many opportunities to play with US teams. Hopefully we can make it down to Ruckus again next year, but you are also all welcome to come up to Hamilton for "The STEMley Cup Championship", which we co-host with MakeShift. This year's event is full, but you can book early for next year!
