Arizona West Regional

We had a lot of fun at the Arizona West regional! During the practice matches, we improved our strategy and we were able to get two 5 stacks very consistently all weekend long.

Our robot performed very well and we are pleased to say it needed little maintenance in the pits.

One of our team members, Raven, did a fantastic job singing the National Anthem in the regional choir.

We want to thank FIRST and Mr. Blair for being so kind and hosting an Easter Egg hunt for the siblings of team members. The younger kids really enjoyed participating in it!

It takes a lot of work to plan strategy, meet with other teams and stay on top of scouting.

We are so thankful for our mentors!

The judges gave us the award for Industrial Design. We are proud that they recognized that our team members learned how to weld and did their own welding on our robot. The judges specifically mentioned how consistent our robot performed. Great job Team 3230!

UTAH REGIONAL

We had a great time at the Utah Regional! This is one of our favorite weekends of the year!

 We were the first team to pass inspection and get out on the practice field!

This is our awesome drive team and coach! We finished the weekend as the top team from Utah.

 

 We are a smaller team compared to most, so we rely on all team members to help with scouting. Who are we going to join in the finals?! Its top secret!

This picture was taken right after we helped score the highest score in ALL of the qualification matches!

We had some great runs! We came out of the qualifications in 5th place!

So excited for the final rounds!

 This is such a fun weekend!

Our pit crew had A LOT of down time this year. They weren't busy at all!  This is a good problem to have.  They only had to do minimal maintenance. Thank you pit crew for being ready!

We were asked by the #2 seat, team 2122 to join their alliance! YES! We really had fun during some VERY TENSE final matches!  We worked well with 2122 and got some great stacks! We made it past the semi finals into the finals! 

The highlight of the weekend was meeting Dean Kaman! He signed our robot! 

We are looking forward to more Recycle Rush in Phoenix Arizona!

Bagged and Tagged!!

WE ARE DONE!!!  We finished strong and had a great build season. No regrets!  Looking forward to the Salt Lake Regional!

 Bagged and Tagged!

 Great work Team 3230 PrototypeX!

Last Saturday.... DONE.

Its hard to believe we finished the last Saturday of build season for 2015! We are all VERY tired, but also very excited to move on to the regional in Salt Lake City.  Once again, everyone worked hard to finish out strong.

Lack of sleep might have made some of us a little silly.

Coach Keith took a turn driving.... we are going to stick with our drive team.

We won't show any pictures of the robot yet, but we are pretty excited to show it off in Salt Lake!

ONE WEEK LEFT!!!

It seems like this build season has gone so quickly! We only have one week left! We are all working hard as the final hours are winding down!

Here is a picture of our robot!!!  Looks great, doesn't it?!

How do we move these bins?

 How many PrototypeX team members can we fit in an elevator?

This is a team picture we got yesterday.

Good luck on the last week!!
