Only a week after the BAE Systems Granite State Regional in Manchester, FIRST Team 1547 Where's Waldo? ventured to the Greater Toronto East Regional, hosted at the nearby University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT). By this point, we had developed autonomous and were about to score in the top hoop consistently! Entering alliance selection, we were in 23rd place. Our robot was so promising that we were selected by the seventh seeded alliance, Team 3387 Les Aigles d'Or and Team 3386 Tornades! We did very well and in one of our matches against the second seeded alliance, we only lost by one point! After our loss, we cheered for other teams and stayed spirited, dancing around the arena and cheering up everyone around us. We claimed the first runner-up award status for the Safety Award and took home the Imagery Award, in honour of Jack Kamen! Here's what the judges had to say about us:

"This award winner has an attention-getting brand that has gained international attention. The team, their robot, the cart, the promotional materials, and pit area have a bright and cheerful eye-capturing image. The team earns and displays their image with pride. The team has earned their stripes by searching for perfection on and off the field. With their motto of "Girls Do"".

We had a wonderful time and would like to congratulate all of the winning teams! We can’t wait until next year! Below are pictures from GTR East. Click on the thumbnails to see its full size.
