Re: [FTC]: Maryland FTC Championship

So, it's a complicated story....

There is really only one Twisted Bots team. However we have two robots. Members of the team worked on either robot as required. The same two members programmed both bots. Robot 3165 scores in the circle goal while Robot 177 scores in the High Triangle goal.

At the Virginia Tournament in December, we split our team and ran two robots, 177 and 3165. At that tournament 3165 won the Inspire Award and 177 was on the Winning Alliance (1st pick). 3165 was the captain of the Finalist Alliance.

At the Delaware Tournament, a subset of the Twisted Bots took 3165 and competed. We were 2nd ranked and picked by Power Surge and were part of the Winning Alliance.

At the Maryland Tournament the entire team competed with 177. We were Captain of the Winning Alliance.

Although we qualified as both Twisted Bots (177) and Twisted Bots 2 (3165) we will all be competing at Worlds as Twisted Bots (177), although JMT will be spending most of her time with FRC 122 the NASA Knights.
