This new event, “The Chairman’s Conference Scrimmage,” was hosted by the Northern Minnesota Robotics Conference. A total of 500 fans attended the event in person with many more watching on Twitch.
A strong finish
“At the end of the qualifying matches, the top three blue teams and the top three red teams were the alliance captains for their respective colors,” robotics mentor Kay Netteberg said. “Nevis was in second for the blue teams, and following the final matches ended in fifth place overall. Many of these kids had never even seen a match. To be part of this event was a really big opportunity for them. And our four returning members were all on the field.”
