Bear Metal Blog at Portland
Signing off from Portland
March 6th, 2010
Here in Portland, Bear Metal, together with Paly Robotics (Team 8) and Skunkworks (Team 1983), took it all the way to the semi-finals. The alliance who faced and defeated us was composed of teams 1515, 2130, and 997, who went on to win in the finals. The fight between our alliance and our opponent in the semi-finals was fierce. While a prominent alliance composed of 847, 2471, and 2990 posed little resistance to them in the finals, the semi-finals were nail-biters.
Our alliance put up a valiant fight. Considering the hardships of Friday, Bear Metal quickly got back on its feet on Saturday and put up a great struggle to the very end.
Though our team didn’t receive any awards at Portland, we've proved our robot, Odyssey, and are looking forward to Seattle.
