The Dreadbots, Dexter’s FIRST Robotics team, completed the qualifying rounds in the Dow Division at the State Championships at Saginaw Valley State University.
The Dreadbots, who finished 14th out of 40 teams, were selected by the No. 8 alliance which is captained by 4970: ICE Cubed from Harris and also includes 1076: Pi-Hi Samurai from Ann Arbor.
Division playoffs begin Saturday (April 13) at 9:30 a.m. as they go up against the #1 alliance. Dexter is excited to be competing with their friends from PI-Hi! It’s more than likely that both the Dreadbots and Pi-Hi will qualify for FIRST Championship-Detroit.
