Ferradermis traveled to the FIRST Robotics Northern Lights Regional in Duluth, Minnesota from Wednesday, March 6, through Sunday, March 10, competing with and against 59 other teams from Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and Sweden.
On Wednesday night, while a small crew did setup at the arena, the remainder of the team visited the civil engineering labs at the University of Minnesota Duluth and participated in several demonstrations before enjoying a team dinner at Sammy’s Pizza.
Following a practice day on Thursday, the team competed in 9 qualification matches on Friday and Saturday, ending with a record of 5-4 and ranking 22nd out of the 60 teams. Although the team was not drafted into an alliance for the playoffs, their high ranking placed them on a list of bots put on standby for replacements for any disabled robots in the playoffs. The team had planned to travel home Saturday at the end of the competition but ended up spending an extra night in Duluth due to the weather.
Thank you to our many local sponsors for supporting the team. To see more photos from the competition, visit the team’s page on Facebook at facebook.com/Ferradermis.
Both varsity and junior varsity math teams earned first place at the Rock Valley Conference math meet.
For the varsity, this is 5th year in a row, and 7th time since 2010. On Varsity, Colin Chenoweth won 2nd place, Zach Brantmeier 3rd, Hunter Martin and Jaden Henneman tied for 6th, Grace Ejnik and Alicia Parboteeah tied for 7th, Nicole Sedmak had 9th, and Nick Kuzoff was 16th.

Former Whippet Daniel Fuller was recently voted to the All-Freshman Team by the coaches of the NCCAA DII South Region. Injuries and other personnel issues opened the door for Daniel to make the team right before the season started and caused the team to get off to a slow start. Midway through the season Daniel cracked the starting lineup and was a key contributor to the Bruins finishing 7-1 in their regional play. Fuller averaged 8.3 points per game while shooting an impressive 43% from beyond the arc.
“I’m very happy for Daniel to receive this recognition from the coaches in our region,” Bruins men’s basketball head coach Burton Uwarow said. “He works hard and does things the right way while always looking to improve. We wouldn’t be where we are this season without him and the impact he has had on our team this year.”
