FRC Team 4130 competes at the Detroit World Championship

Well. Where do we begin. Team 4130 competed at the World Championship in Detroit this weekend. We were on the Carson Division and were selected to be a part of the #2 Alliance consisting of the Thunder Chickens, Comets Robotics, and That One Team. We were fortunate enough to win our division and move on to the round-robin Einstein tournament still held at Cobo Hall. From there, our alliance played every other division, and then two alliances moved on to the Einstein Finals at Ford Field. Fortunately, we were one of those alliances. Team 4130 was going to compete for a World Championship. Upon arriving to Ford Field, each team was announced. 6 of the 8 teams that were in the Einstein Finals were from Michigan. Unfortunately, our alliance lost to the reigning World Champions, also from Michigan, and we walked out as a World Champion Finalist. It was an amazing experience for our team and we hope there is more to come.
