Competition

So, we went to competition... and lost. And won.
First, the stats. We placed:

• 3rd highest seeded rookie team (we would have been first if some "technical difficulties" hadn't arisen...not to mention some user error [such as me crashing the newly power-enhanced bot into the Plexiglas wall, smashing the arm and getting it stuck near a penalty area...EPIC FAIL!]), and
• 33rd, I belive, highest seeded team over all (out of a little less than 60 teams)

We did pretty well, actually! We won no awards, though. I keep on feeling like we could have though. Oh well, you're only a rookie team once, but next year we'll have a shot at the Chairman's Award!

P.S. There were some AWESOME team there this time! D'Penguineers and the Holy Cows were there of course, along with 16 rookie teams, 2 teams from Mexico, 2 from Hawaii, and one from Oregon. There was some amazingly cool minibots too! Magnets...all the cool kids were using magnets...
