A huge thanks to Brain Lidington and Lovejoy High School for hosting the second annual Loevejoy Extreme Engineering Robotics Competition this past weekend. There were over 30 teams that competed, and featured some very exciting final matches.

Awards given:
Judges - 136R Berkner Robotics

 Judges - 136E Berkner Robotics (unique design)

 Excellence - 9090A MCS VEX-E

I will try to get the qualification standings and results posted later.

Thanks for posting the results !
Congrats to 1604 , 1429B , 704 as Lovejoy Champions

I’m shocked 148 was not in the finals !

Congratulations to all the teams, and I’m especially looking forward to seeing our friends from Team KAOS at Worlds.

As Mentor to 136, I’d like to thank Rfolea for sharing detailed pictures on the web of the flipper-catapult.
Our Judges award for “unique design” was a copy from those pictures.

If we come up with any improvements for Worlds, I hope/intend/plan to follow that generous example.

quarter/semi/Finals were interesting:

148 had all five robots in on four alliances, but were all knocked out before finals. Maybe theydiluted their experienced people onto too many teams to do as well as previous years.
-136 had three robots on three alliances. As far as I can tell, the 136R Judges award was for “leader of the 3rd alliance”, possibly for sitting out 2/3 games in their last match.

9090 won 4 awards: driving, auto, finalist, inspire.
If I recall correctly, 9090 alliance had a score of 122:10 in one game of a match that they lost. The number of dead robots in finals was surprisingly high and allowed some upsets.

Two claw-bot BLTs driven very very well were able to win.

*None *of the Robowranglers qualified for Worlds??

Yep, that’s what I was wondering too…

Paul, do they have another competition? Dallas wouldn’t be the same if at least one 148 team wasn’t there :(.

As far as I know this was the only event they were going to compete in this year prior to Worlds.
