During the qualifying matches, the Hackercats achieved a 5-5-0 record, securing the 31st position among the 56 total teams in their division. Individually, they ranked 11th within their division.

Despite facing challenging partner-pairings, the Hackercats demonstrated consistency during the crucial "end game" phase. Their robot showcased precision by successfully landing their "drone" - a paper airplane - into the highest scoring zone with 100% accuracy, distinguishing them as standout performers in this aspect.

Beyond their on-field performance, the Hackercats embodied the spirit of gracious  professionalism. The team was able to use the 3D printer they brought to assist other teams continue in the competition after some of their pieces broke.
