The Gobles Voltage robotics team participated in this year’s game, First Stronghold, at the weekend Lakeview HS district. Our team has a great running robot this year named Sebastian. After twelve qualifying rounds, the Voltage ranked 9th out of 40 and earned the right to captain and choose their three-team alliance for the final rounds. For the first time ever, we made it through the quarterfinals and then the Gobles crowd went wild when we emerged victorious in the semis with an amazing 115-114 victory over the #2 seed The Corsairs. Our team alliance in the district finals was the Gobles Voltage, the Robo-Beavers, and rookie team East Grand Rapids. The district winner was B.O.B. alliance (built-on-brains). We thank the school community and we will prepare for our road trip to the Ann Arbor district on April 7-9.
