As Chop Shop 166 raced off to the NE District Championship, we competed in the Wilson division in Springfield, MA, going above and beyond in every project we worked in. From the little repairs and scouting, to driving the robot, and presenting for the Impact Award, We put in a great effort this week. Even with a swerve module broken at our final qualification match, we still won 163-155, ranking 30th at the end of Friday.

Get ready for more from alliance four, as we raced along with teams 3467, Windham Windup, and 1768, Nashoba Robotics. We were however knocked out in Match 12 of the playoffs, with only a four-point difference.And just when we were already celebrating getting to Districts, things got so much better. Through the commitment of every single person on this team, Chop Shop 166 received the Impact Award at the Regional level, so we are going to Houston, TX to compete in Worlds for the second year in a row!!!

This has never happened before to our team, and we could not be more grateful for the opportunity to compete at Worlds. From April 19th to April 22nd, we will be cheering on our team, as well as team MAX 1071, Mechanical Advantage 6328, and TechTigers 3654.

Our team, Chop Shop 166, competed in the WPI District Event, in Worcester, MA, and we did amazing! We had a strong showing and ended the day in second place. The following day we finished qualifications as the 6th seed, and were invited to join the 3rd seed alliance by team 1100, Inverse Polarity. We then completed this alliance with team 173, RAGE Robotics. We were knocked out after two matches because our arm could not extend, but that did not stop us from giving our all. In fact, we were able to score a whopping 64 points in one match on our own!
