Virtual Chairman’s Exchanges

Posted on March 24, 2020 by Rida Azam

The Chairman’s award is one of the most prestigious awards in FIRST, and quite a lengthy process to complete, with four aspects of the submission. To help teams practice and share information, many regionals have Chairman’s Exchanges, where teams can practice presenting and ask questions of each other.

In wake of the 2020 Season being suspended, Team Neutrino is partnering with other teams to host Virtual Chairman’s Exchanges to provide teams that same opportunity in these trying times. Below is a list of all the exchanges happening, their dates, and a form to sign up for the exchange. Attendance is limited to six presenting teams and a total of 100 participants for the sake of time and call quality, so sign up soon!

Teams are invited to watch, present, and ask questions at the exchanges. We ask that each individual that wants to attend to fill out the session form (i.e. instead of one person signing their team up to present, we ask that each presenter must fill out the form). You can also apply to be a session host here and/or a guest judge here. We’ll see you there!

Greater Kansas City Wrap Up 2020

Posted on March 16, 2020 by Rida Azam

From February 28th – March 1st, Team Neutrino had a fantastic time competing at the Greater Kansas City Regional in Lee’s Summit, Missouri! After 72 qualification matches, the team was ranked 3rd and was the captain of the 3rd seed alliance. With our alliance partners 4499 Highlanders and 1982 Cougar Robotics, Team Neutrino advanced to the finals where they upset the 1st seed alliance to win the regional and advance to the World Championships in Detroit, MI this April. This is the first time in the team’s history they have placed 1st at a regional competition. Team Neutrino was also fortunate enough to win the Engineering Inspiration award at the GKC Regional. Although we were lucky enough to have been able to compete this year, we know that many FRC teams around the world did not have the same opportunity, and our sympathies go out to them in this difficult time.
