The Saranac JSH Robotics team has been around for 10 years and this is the first time they have made it to the State Championships, after coming close a few times over the years. The format is 80 teams in 2 divisions with 3 or 4 fields running per division to keep everyone moving through the qualifiers. After the qualifiers the top 8 or 16 teams per division pick a partner and then run a 'March Madness' type bracket to get to the tournament champion.
How did they get here...the last competition they went to at Jenison, the 'A Team' ended up as team number 16 for the finals. The 'A Team' picked our 'Z Team' as their partner and Saranac went up against the number 1 seeded team. We lost by 13 points but we had the opposing teams sweating.....final score was 97 - 110. Both our teams worked well together and almost upset the number 1 seeded team.
Good luck to our Saranac Robotics team !!!!
