Congrats To The Carman-Ainsworth FRC Team 314

The Carman-Ainsworth FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition®) Team 314 did compete this last weekend at the Livonia FIRST® Robotics District Competition with 39 other teams from around the state to earn points at qualifying for a spot at the Michigan FRC State Championship.  This was their second competition this year. They had a fantastic weekend.

  • Overall Rank:  3rd in the District event
  • Was selected by the 1st Alliance Captain to be a partner which we had declined as we wanted to be our own Alliance Captain
  • Played in the Elimination matches which went all the way to the finals. Quarter-finals and Finals went to 3 matches.
  • We are also the 2014 Livonia FIRST® Robotics District Competition Winners. Our Alliance was Team 314, Megatron Oracles (Captain),Team 503 Frog Force, Novi and Team 815, Advanced Power, Allen Park.
  • Because of these efforts we are currently in 4th place out of 278 teams that played in the State of Michigan with a total of 131 points earned towards the Michigan FRC State Championship.  Also according to a unofficial listing on ChiefDelphi.com we are ranked 41st out of 2451 FRC Teams who have competed worldwide. Just remember
  • Because of the points we are now projected to compete at the Michigan FRC State Championship.
  • Also this last weekend was the 10 year anniversary of when the Megatron Oracles won the first blue banner at the Southern California Regional with 59 other teams and only one other team from Michigan was out there with us. It was also our Alliance partner, FRC Team 815 Advanced Power from Allen Park. (little trivia & history)
