This past weekend, we competed at the Arizona Regional competition. We had a wonderful time competing with so many wonderful teams at Hamilton High School, home of 698, the Microbots.

Unfortunately, during alliance selections on Saturday, a member of our team loudly protested when we were picked on the 8th seed alliance. We had many mechanical issues, and the rest of the team was very excited to have an opportunity to compete alongside our good friends, 3187 and 3019, from our school district.

He has been spoken to about the values of FIRST and has been put on probation. If he continues such behavior, he will be removed from the team.

I can't express how sorry I am for a member of our team to do such a thing. I extend my and my team's apologies to the Cyberdons, the Firebirds, the attendees of the Arizona Regional, as well as all participants of FIRST.

Thank you.
