Smoky Mountains Regional - Knoxville, TN - Mar 31-Apr 2, 2022

• Seeded 11th for playoffs due to 4 qualification losses. In three of the four losses, our random qualifying alliance was so overmatched, we could not possibly score enough to get the victory.

• Participated in the highest scoring qualification alliance with 139 points in qualification match 21

• Selected for the playoffs with the first pick of the captain of the #2 seeded alliance. Captain was 180 - S.P.A.M. - Stuart, FL, 2nd pick was 4360 - Robokomodos - Franklin, TN

• Defeated the 7th ranked alliance in the quarterfinals, but lost in the semifinals to the 3rd ranked alliance after our robot became disabled due to a control network failure that we could not find or fix between rounds (our #2 alliance had to call a backup robot to take our place)

FRC World Championships - Houston, TX - Apr 21-23, 2022

• We had the 15th toughest qualification schedule strength of the 76 teams in the Roebling Division. With the caliber of teams at Worlds, there were many qualification matches we had no chance of winning due to the strength of opponents or weakness of teammates. We had a 3-7 qualification record.

• We were the 9th team selected to the playoffs (17th team in the playoffs overall) . Only 32 teams out of the 76 in the Roebling Division made the playoffs. 44 Championship-level teams did not make the playoffs.

• Our 8th ranked playoff alliance:

  • Captain - 2075 - Enigma Robotics - Grand Rapids, MI (8th alliance captain) - OPR = 40.7 (less offensive power than us, but the 8th easiest qualification schedule strength)

    • • Winner: First in Michigan Calvin University District - Grand Rapids, MI

      • Winner: First in Michigan Muskegon District - Muskegon, MI

  • 1st pick - 5712 - Hemlock's Gray Matter - Hemlock, MI (16th overall pick) - OPR = 49.0 (a beast of a robot whose team was one of the few with an even tougher qualification schedule strength than us)

    • • Winner: First in Michigan Midland District - Midland, MI

  • 2nd pick - 4020 - Cyber Tribe - Kingsport, TN (17th overall pick) - OPR = 42.0

    • • Winner: Electric City Regional - Anderson, SC

  • 3rd pick - 5913 - Patriotics - Pequot Lakes, MN (32nd overall pick) - OPR = 33.9

    • • Winner: Northern Lights Regional - Duluth, MN

• Unfortunately, the 8th seed has to play the #1 seed in the quarterfinals. We lost as would be expected, but put the Division on notice after losing the first quarterfinal match against the #1 seed by only 3 points after our alliance gifted 12 penalty points to the opponents (5712's climber broke and went too far outside the robot frame multiple times).
