WPI District Event: Record Scores start NE on the Road to Springfield!

Our final event of the season is a popular one! The WPI District Event hosted the most teams prior to DCMP this year, with teams traveling in from New Hampshire, Vermont, Connectict, Rhode Island, and all corners of Massachusetts.

Thanks to Worcester Polytechnic Institute Dean of Undergraduate Studies Arne Gericke for welcoming our competitors to the NE venue that has hosted more robotics competitions per year than any other!

Two top teams reached the current New England high score of 669 in qualifications, then teamed up in playoffs to win the entire event!

How long will it take our teams to beat this at District Championship next week? Come watch the excitement of the top 100 teams in New England striving to become REBUILT Champions!
