District qualifiers are over in New England! Both the Hartford District Event and the WPI District Event were incredibly competitive, seeing a blue alliance win in the final matches.
At the conclusion of all 10 district events in New England, the rankings for both the District Championship and all but 3 of the slots to the FIRST Championship were finalized. 80 teams will compete at The Big E and 25 teams will represent New England in Houston: https://frc-events.firstinspires.org/2022/district/NE.
In Hartford, 40 teams from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire competed for half of the remaining ranking points in the district.
At WPI, 39 teams from all six New England states were back in one of the only venues to host an off-season for Infinite Recharge in 2021.
