Results from the Queen City Regional
Team 1024 competed well at the inaugural Queen City Regional. We won 8 of 10 Qualification matches and finished as the 6 Seed prior to the selections for the Elimination Rounds. We won our first Elimination round 2 wins to 0 but lost very close matches in the second round to the eventual winner of the regional.
Team 1024 also took home awards for Imagery and Gracious Professionalism. Although we did not win any Regionals, we were competitive and can call the season a success with a total of 4 awards: 2 Imagery awards, Woodie Flowers award and a Gracious Professionalism award.

Results from the Boilermaker Regional
Team 1024 competed at the Purdue Boilermaker Regional March 15-17. Our robot performed very well overall and was seeded 5th in the Elimination Matches after a record of 8-4 on Friday and Saturday. Our first match against the 4th seed ended with a dramatic win as all three of our alliance robots balanced on the blue ramp. The 2nd match was a loss and the tie-breaker match was tense as both alliances attempted to balance all 3 robots. Sadly, we came up just short but are looking forward to competing in the Queen City regional in a couple weeks.

Boilermaker Regional Competition
The 1024 robot competed very well at Boilermaker. Despite some ongoing work to refine the ball capture and shooter the robot was one of the best at getting Coopertition Points by balancing on the center ramp with a robot from an opposing alliance.
