Globe High School won the Rookie Inspiration Award at this year's FIRST Robotics regional competition, held at Hamilton High School in Chandler over the weekend.
Approximately fifty high school teams entered the competition. Globe's team, team 5059 (aka Tigerobotics), ranked 19 out of the 49. This is the first year that Globe High School competed.
This year's team members were: Brendan Coleman, senior; Anjali Das, sophomore; Sarah Jones, senior; Liam Rama, freshman; Sage Stenerson, junior; and Christian Stevens, freshman.
The competition required each team to build and program robots that could compete in an aerial assist game, where two competing alliances of three robots each tried to score as many goals with a ball as possible in a two-minute, 30-second match. Whichever alliance scored the most goals won.
The competition began on Thursday and ended last night. The following photos were taken throughout yesterday's matches.
