Three Livingston Robotics Club (LRC) teams attended the Hillsborough qualifying event on 11/21/09. Landroids #109, Thunderclan #3375 and Alpha Force #3360 each won the Champion’s Award, 1st place research and 1st place technical presentation respectively. These teams also placed #3, #7 and #8 in robot performance out of 23 attending teams.
Landroids had encountered major difficulties with the overhead flood lights which had severely affected the robot light sensor readings and navigation onto the bridge. Nevertheless, the team managed to make some last minute robot and program modifications to gain some scores back in the last round.
