Date: 1/15/19
Time: 3:30-5:30
Attendance: Trinity, Rebecca, Nidhir, Ananya, Josephine, Afra, Rohan

Plans/Goals

  • Reformatted our sponsorship email into a formal business letter
  • Retighten drivetrain motor mounts

What Was Accomplished

  • Started reformatting our sponsorship email into a formal business letter

Qualifer 3 – Meeting Entry

Date: 1/12/19
Time: 7:00-6:00
Attendance: Trinity, Tommy, Rebecca, Nidhir, Ananya, Sriteja

Plans/Goals

  • This is our last chance to advance to regionals, either through actually winning or earning the Inspire Award, but we need to actually have fun
  • Don’t stress about too much about advancing
  • Last time we put too much pressure on ourselves and couldn’t enjoy being at the competition
  • We barely have any prep time, so we likely won’t do too well anyways

What Was Accomplished

  • We got nominated for a lot of awards and became a Alliance Captain, which was awesome!
  • 3rd in Connect
  • 2nd in Control
  • 2nd in Inspire
  • 2nd in Innovate
  • 1st in Think
  • Placed 4th out of 16 in elimination rounds
  • 3rd seed alliance captain
  • Won 4 qualification matches, lost 1
  • Made it to finals
  • We got a lottery ticket, giving us a 12/17 chance to qualify to regionals
