Coach, Joseph Blay shares that last weekend Stuyvesant's FRC Robotics Team, StuyPulse, Team 694 competed in the New York Tech Valley Regional. StuyPulse ranked 3rd at the end of Qualification matches. This allowed them to be captains of an alliance and pick two other teams as alliance partners. StuyPulse's alliance ended up as the Regional Finalists, which qualifies them for the FRC World Championship in Detroit, Michigan, which will take place April 24th 27th. Their team also won the Entrepreneurship Award, and their mentor, Shelley Grant, has won the Woodie Flowers Finalist Award. This week they competed at the Central New York Regional March 14-17th.
