Sharon is victorious at Blackstone Regional tournament
The SER Angelbots team earned the Team Support Award for their impressive performance. The SER Unlimited team earned an award for the Most Impressive Play of the Day and the High Score Award, as well as a trophy for First Place in the tournament. Mike Norton of Blackstone Valley Regional organized a great competition, run quickly and efficiently (and on time!) with twelve tables, cycling all 48 participating teams through a round every half hour. Of course, the SER Unlimited team remember him and his FRC team with gratitude from the BattleCry@WPI competition last June, where they hosted us and showed us the ropes of designing and competing for the FIRST Robotics Competition. Head referee Jack Gregory of the SYRA did his usual professional job training and supervising the referee staff. The staff of volunteers were diligent and effective. A fantastic time was had by all members of both teams, and by the looks of things, by everyone else as well. Click to link to photos of SYRA qualifications and the Blackstone tournament.

After qualifying to represent the Sharon Youth Robotics Association
(SYRA) in an
internal competition, the Sharon Eagle Robotics (SER) Angelbots and Unlimited
teams had a great day at the Blackstone Valley High School regional tournament
held in Upton on November 20th. The morning competition for top score in the
FIRST LEGO League 2004 No Limits challenge included 6 rounds for each team to
achieve their highest score, with the SER Unlimited team qualified first at 377
(out of a possible 400), and the SER Angelbots team qualified twelfth.
After a break for lunch, the head-to-head single elimination rounds went well
for both teams until, as luck would have it, they faced each other in the
seventh round. After a fiercely contested match, the Unlimited team was
fortunate to continue on to face Northborough Team One in the final match.
Victory there left them in first place for the day.
