Team Hollywood Robotics from Holly High School, went to Zeeland, MI at Zeeland East High School to compete at the West Michigan Robotics Invitational which is an off-season robotics competition with 32 teams attending hosted by 5 teams local to the area. Team Hollywood struggled greatly during qualifying starting from the first match where their robot, Pete Stop, tipped over due to a steering motor malfunction. Their robot has competed in 4 regular season events, 8 off-season events with 2 more scheduled, 149 recorded matches so far with countless hours more in practice time. Team Hollywood placed 31st out of 32 teams at the end of qualifying. They were the second pick of a 4 team alliance by the #2 seeded team, Manchester High School’s Digital Dislocators and joined by the first pick, Clarkston’s Team R.U.S.H. and back-up team, Hamilton High School’s CyberHawks. Their alliance battled through semi-finals winning every match. The finals came down to their alliance and the #1 seeded alliance who had worked themselves back up from the lower bracket after being beaten in round 3 of semi-finals. With a huge showing in playoffs, Team Hollywood won the tournament with their alliance after 3 very close matches!

Lights, Camera… HOLLYWOOD!
