On Saturday, January 25, Penn State Berks hosted their annual regional FLL competition. Several coaches and team members volunteered during the event. Our coaches, Dr. Tam and Dr. Reese, served as robot design judges and our team members hosted two Kardia families who are interested in starting a new FIRST Lego League team for the younger Karida students. They were escorted through the competition sites and pits to gain a better understanding of FLL and this year’s challenge.

 We did it! Since our second competitive season, our members have been deliberate in establishing both individual and team goals that we would like to achieve throughout the current year. Two of those team goals have been: (1) To be a winning alliance captain and (2) To win the Inspire Award. We have worked very diligently towards both. Over the past few years, we have come close to achieving them, but always ended just a little short. Amazingly, we were able to make both goals a reality on the same day. Our robot performed great throughout the South Central PA Tournament, losing only one close match. We finished regulation in 2nd place and had the privilege to be an alliance captain. Our choices, Team #6378 JayBots and Team #12007 JayBorgs, both of Central Columbia High School, complimented our team well and helped propel us to victory. The finals proved to be a gut-wrenching experience, however, as we won both matches by less than five points. If the excitement couldn't get any higher, we were later recognized as the Inspire Award winner too. What a day! Undoubtedly, it will surly be a historic one for Kardia Robotics.
We hope to see everyone this Saturday at the York Qualifier. Good luck and safe travel in the snowy weather! GO KARDIA!
Happy New year from the Kardia Robotics team! As we enter 2020 our design team is cranking away at our Robot 2.0. We look forward to seeing you at the York and Lehigh Valley Qualifiers!  |
