Blair Robotics Team Wins



Blair Robotics Team attended the Cliffside Cliffhanger, a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics competition, hosted by Cliffside Park High School, Cliffside Park, NJ, with 16 teams in attendance. Since the “Cliffhanger” was an official New Jersey FTC Meet, it meant that all of points earned are carried into the League Tournament at season’s end. The Blair Robotics Team was part of the Winning Alliance, the Highest Scoring Alliance, and independently had the Audacious Autonomous mode. Unlike most teams, the Blair team started their season by constructing a robot from scratch. In addition to perfecting their design based on participation in early practice meets, they worked especially hard to create an autonomous robot mode that was unmatched by any other team. This relied on extensive programming that the team was actively tweaking throughout the competition, a risky approach. The team embodied gracious professionalism in all their actions, even when challenging some questionable judging. Overall. they were well-regarded representatives of Blair Academy. Well Done!
