CORE 2062 Robotics - CORE 2062 presented themselves well at the WI Regional. They were ranked #1 at the end of qualification matches. The made it easily through quarterfinals. Their alliance lost in the 3rd match of the semifinals by a narrow margin. The team won the Innovation in Control award sponsored by Rockwell automation. They are excited to attend the Seven Rivers Regional April 12-15, 2017 to try even harder to earn some more wins! Congrats to all involved! The video below is older but helps to showcase this cool event, the task the robots do changes each year.
