Chop Shop competed at the Pine Tree District Event in Lewiston, Maine from 3/15-3/17 at the Colisée. This was our robot Downforce’s first event. During the qualifications, we ranked 7th out of 29. We were then picked into the 3rd Alliance by team 4564, Orange CHAOS, later inviting team 8023 Argonauts. During the playoffs, our alliance made it to match 10 in the lower bracket. We are very proud of our drive team and how they did at this event.

We received three awards at this event: Woodie Flowers, Dean’s List, and the Impact Award. Our mentor Layth became a Woodie Flowers’ Semi-Finalist, our co-captain Tim received Dean’s List, and our great impact presenters helped us receive the Impact Award. We are extremely proud of our impact presenters for representing the team very well and allowing us to win Impact at the district level for the third year in a row.
