The Centennial College event was an exciting milestone for Team 7659. We came in prepared, knowing this competition would challenge us to push our robot and teamwork to the next level. Throughout the event, our robot performed consistently, thanks to our drive team’s skill and our pit crew’s quick adjustments. We were honored to be the first pick of Alliance 8, a moment that reflected the dedication of our scouts and strategists who worked tirelessly to find the best partners for a strong playoff run.
During the playoffs, we put up a strong fight alongside our alliance partners. Each match tested our adaptability and teamwork, and while we were eliminated before the finals, we held our own against some of the top-seeded alliances. Our resilience, quick decision-making, and ability to adjust under pressure proved that we are a force to be reckoned with on the field.
We were thrilled to receive the Team Sustainability Award. This recognition highlights our ongoing commitment to outreach, mentorship, and making STEM accessible to all. From our initiatives promoting inclusivity in STEM to resource-sharing efforts that support other teams, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. This award reaffirms our mission to create lasting impact both on and off the field.
Another highlight of the event was our strong submission for the Impact Award. While we came up just short of taking it home this time, the experience reinforced our dedication to making a difference. Our outreach programs, mentorship initiatives, and advocacy for STEM accessibility continue to grow, and we are more determined than ever to refine our presentation and make an even greater impact at future competitions.
With valuable lessons from this event, we’re heading back to refine our robot, strengthen our strategies, and come back even stronger. We’re excited for the next challenge—see you at the McMaster event!
