In the 2009 season, for the first time, Team 704 Warriors
participated in two FIRST Robotics regionals - the new Dallas
Regional at SMU's Moody Coliseum (March 12-14) and the Lone Star
Regional in Houston, TX (March 26-28). The Warriors finished the
Dallas Regional qualification rounds seeded sixth out of fifty
participating teams, and proceed to the elimination matches
alongside Team 476 and Team 2352. After three tight matches, the
alliance lost in the quarterfinals, but the 704 robot took home
the General Motors Industrial Design Award for its elegant design
and simplicity. Just two weeks later, the SGP Warriors celebrated
their first regional championship since 2001, with Team 1421 and
alliance captain, Team 2587, at the Lone Star Regional. The
robot's robust design in concept won over the hearts of a second
set of judges in Houston, as the team took home the Motorola
Quality Award. On April 16-18, also for the first time, Team 704
traveled to the FIRST World Championships at the Georgia Dome in
Atlanta, GA.
In
2010 we will again compete at the Dallas Regional on March 18 -20
at Moody Colosseum, and in the Lone Star Regional at
Houston on April 1-3.
