Team 3176 attended this year's Boiler Bot Battle - an annual off-season FIRST Robotics Competition event hosted by Purdue FIRST Programs at the Tippecanoe County Fairgrounds in Lafayette, Indiana. The high-energy competition brings together dozens of high school robotics teams to compete in a full bracket of qualification and double-elimination matches. Teams travel to this event to test new robot designs, train incoming rookie students, and sharpen their competitive edge in a low-stakes environment before the new season begins.
