After working some bugs out of Isabella at Waterloo, her performance was much better at The Greater Toronto West Regional competition held at the Hershey Centre in Mississauga from 29 to 31 March. The team moved around from 1st place to 8th place and ended up in 6th place at the end of the seeding matches. In our seeding matches, we balanced the co-opertition bridge 8 times out 10 - a record surpassed only by FIRST Team 3161.
Our rookie team, FIRST Team 4343, had a good showing and ended up in 30th place out of 55 teams but wasn't selected for an alliance.
FIRST Team 1334 set the 5th Alliance and selected Teams 772 and 2013 but went out in hard-fought action against the 4th Alliance of Teams 1310, 1285 and 2386 40-35, 41-53 and 40-30. Many lessons were learned. Our thanks to FIRST Teams 77who? 772! and 2013.
The team was very pleased to receive the Gracious Professionalism Award during the award ceremony on Saturday.
