Day 4: The Finals!
After yesterday's qualification matches, the Finals arrived today! We have 2 more matches to compete before noon. As usual, we woke up around 6.30am and made our way to the convention center at 7am. We had Macdonald's Hotcakes for breakfast.
The first great news came unexpectedly as ACSI clinched the 'Unite' Award for their collective efforts to work together with Rulang Primary and Lian Hua Primary. It is the first award won by Team Singapore! We were overjoyed!
Next up, we played the first match of the day. It was a tough match but we managed to beat our opponents together with our alliance! Yeah! After that we played the last match of the competition. It was a very close fight and we tried our best. However we lost by a small margin. We were a little disappointed.
In total of 8 qualification matches, we won 5 and lost 3. That was an awesome result as we knew we are competing with the best in the world. Although we did not qualify for the Finals, our final rank is an excellent 30th out of over 380 teams! We were ecstatic!
Our compatriots from ACSI managed to enter to finals! Their performance was fantastic! Sadly their quest for championship ended in the second stage of the Finals. Nonetheless it was the first time Team Singapore entered the Finals. Well done Team Singapore!
The Finals and the Prize Presentation were the next highlights. We watched these events in a spectacular arena and we were overwhelmed with excitement. When the the special guest announced "The 'Future' Award winner is...8058A!", we almost cried our lungs out! We ran all the way down from the last few rows to the stage to receive our awards! The feeling of winning this award was priceless. This award recognizes our efforts in realizing dreams of future leaders in robotics.
The last great news came from ACSI winning the 'Design' Award for their great mechanical report and design documentations. That means Team Singapore won an unprecedented 3 awards in the VEX Robotics World Championship 2010!
As we celebrate in the Team Party into the night, we will provide more updates, photos and videos in the upcoming blog posts. Till then, thank you for all the support! We did Singapore proud! :)))
