Oh goodness, the on and off arrows at each gate indicating the direction your robot should be going is absolutely brilliant and beautiful.

The Aus Regional was amazing!

I'm a team member of 5333 Curtin FRC. That proposal was amazing and I cried a little! Tom and Tam are amazing people, and seeing them in Union now is fantastic!

What's more is we got 7!!!! teams to the US! Team 3132, 4613 and 6035 won, with 5333 (whoo), 5663 (another Curtin FRC team) and 5087 coming as finalists. 5333 won the Engineering Inspiration award for OpenRIO, and generated a Wildcard for 5663. 5807 got a Wildcard through 3132's chairman's award at Northern Lights, and an additional Wildcard was generated through Barker's chairman's win. Getting both the alliances in finals to worlds is amazing!!

We can't wait to see everyone at St Louis. The Australian Regional was amazing and we're so grateful to have attended!

Whew! Great event!

Our team owes huge thanks to the Barker College Redbacks, Drop Bears, Thunder Down Under, and Artemis for helping us assemble our mechanism on Thursday and entirely rebuild our drivetrain on Friday. Thank you so much!

Oops, forgot one more - Al Skierkiewicz ensuring we could pass inspection despite the crazy changes to our bot. Cheers, Al!
