We do well at Glacier Peak, and win a prestigious award!

Hello Spartronics eNews readers! This will be the first, and hopefully last time I will address you personally. I made a mistake recently and sent out this newsletter to what I thought was all of you, but it turns out I accidentally sent it to a different list of just myself and Spartronics' marketing mentor. I did not realize my mistake until now, and so I am resending this to make sure that everyone receives this. I'm sorry for any inconveniences caused.
Many of these articles are now out of date, but are still worth reading about as we have had an awesome season so far. Look for a newer newsletter coming to your inboxes soon!

From March 6th - 8th Spartronics competed at our first robotics competition of the season in Glacier Peak. GAEA rocked the competition, we had no major issues with her whatsoever. After competing in 12 Qualifying matches, we were in 8th place, which meant that we could choose our own alliance for the Final matches. We ended up getting picked to enter into an alliance by the 3rd highest ranking team, which we graciously accepted. Although we did not make it pass the quarter finals, we only missed it by one spot.
Overall we ended ranking in 10th out of 33 teams, and are currently 49th out of over 100 teams in the Pacific Northwest. The top 64 teams from Oregon and Washington go to Regionals.If we keep on this trajectory, we have a good chance of making Regionals!

by Aila Ikuse
At Glacier Peak, Spartronics won the prestigious "Engineering Inspiration Award". This award automatically qualifies the team to attend Districts (or State), but we have to qualify with our robot through points if we want to compete.
This award is the second highest honor that our team could win and will give the team bonus points. This award celebrates a team's outstanding success in advancing respect and appreciation for engineering and engineers; both within their school as well as their community. Criteria include: The extent and inventiveness of the team's efforts to recruit students to engineering, the extent and effectiveness of the teams community outreach efforts, and the measurable success of those efforts.
Watch us win the award here!
