I'd like to thank the Regional Planning Committee for another great Midwest Regional! Great MC, Great announcers, terrific pit layout (rookies next to veterans), no technical glitches, and we even finished a few minutes early!
The best robots were in the finals, and I think everyone is proud of the outcome for 16, 148, and 2022 (we expect great things from 2022 at the next Flapjack Challenge, given your championship status)!
A note to the Robotic Colonels: There is always lots of hindsight, but we thought you performed very well, and I would hate to think you or your team are blaming yourselves for our elimination. We win as an alliance, and we lose as an alliance. The thought of you taking our defeat all on your shoulders is as odd as if a winning alliance claimed they alone, without their alliance partners, were responsible for a victory. I hope we get to play with you next year!
BTW, my son posted video of a practice triple balance at:
