Frank Robotics Wins VEX Excellence Award at Oak Park Super Saturday Event


Frank Robotics attended the Oak Park Super Saturday Event February 4th and Won the VEX Robotics Excellence Award which is the highest award given out at VEX events. This award goes to the teams that exemplifies excellence in a VEX Robotics program. The winner will be contender in all other award categories such as competition, interviews, engineering/design notebooks, and sportsmanship. Way to go Lobos!

Teams 3064D and 3064E finished qualifying rounds ranked 4th and 8th respectively and qualified for the elimination bracket. In the final bracket Team 3064E made it to the Semi Final but were eliminated 2-1. Team 3064D, despite their fellow alliance robot having technical issues and barely able to function, were able to make their way to the Finals where they were able to push a great alliance to the brink in a 2 on 1 situation but ultimately losing 2-1-1. The finals were as dramatic and exciting as anything we've seen but unfortunately the Disney ending did not happen but we were still so proud and happy for our Lobo Techs!
