LightSaders Robotics Team Commands the Arena! (By Neil Flores, '22)

After winning first place at our last meet in the Tech Challenge “Freight Frenzy” at the Austin Metro League regional on November 11 against 62 other teams, on December 4, we had our second meet for our competitive Robotics team LightSaders Robot 12928. Our first match of the day, we reached our current highest recorded score in the Austin Metro League with a total of 189 points. 

We are Austin Metro League’s rank number one because of our high ranking points. With a total of 1532.00 ranking points, we maintain our number one lead by 77 points - just ahead of Inception 12533 with a total of 1455.00 ranking points. Below are the top ten teams in our league of 62 teams.

Overall, our team's confidence was at its all-time high throughout the tournament. We knew there would be many teams watching us, so we prepared our best. We had Will S (Sophomore) and Davin M (Sophomore) as Drivers and our team leader, Rylan P (Senior), as Driver's coach. Going forward, we would like to improve on our intake system and outtake system on the robot for the next and final AML meet on Jan 22.

This final meet will be the last chance to raise the ranking points for the qualifying tournament, which will determine which team advances and which do not. We plan to reach out to other teams for practice matches as well as work hard over the winter break for our Winter Term class. But most importantly, we plan to have fun.
