The Drillbotics committee met on 28 January to select the teams who will advance to Phase II of the 2020-2021 Drillbotics Competition. Each team was notified by an email that included comments from the judges that were specific to each team. Teams do not need to reply to the email; comments are intended to help guide the teams toward items that could improve their design. It is not necessary for teams to incorporate new features into their design. Use these comments only as advice. It is okay if you choose not to add any elements; just be prepared to tell the judges next spring why you made your decision. Remember, judges want to know what you have learned from this project. Why you make certain decisions is often more important than the decision itself.
The list of teams below is shown in the order the judges ranked them. Sometimes there were ties. Use these rankings as an indication as to who your closest competitors are. And remember, like a sports contest, these are the scores at half-time. Good luck in Phase II.
