What a weekend! These past few days have been a blur but it has been one great story. We received a call on Thursday morning at 7:30 am stating that a team had cancelled last minute on Wednesday night and that they wanted to see if we could make it down. My initial reaction was, "No way." But after more consideration we decided to give it a shot.

Our school was super supportive and gave us the green light to go. We scrambled to make travel arrangements, payments, hotels, and robot preparations and we assembled a skeleton crew of nine students and 2 coaches. We arrived in Oklahoma late Thursday night and were ready to compete Friday morning.

After an amazing weekend we are so proud to have been a part of the winning alliance with 3660 Lightsabers and 2424 Robot Mafia. This was the first regional win for each of our alliance teams. Thanks for being such great alliance partners.

We had an incredible time here in Oklahoma. It was great meeting so many teams and seeing familiar faces from other regionals. This is an amazing venue which was run very well. We will look forward to returning again. Next time we will give more notice though!

We also wanted to give a huge thanks to Doc from 1723 and Malcolm Strickland for all of their technical help. Team 3528 Up Next! Your team is so impressive and we enjoyed working with you. Congratulations to team 1710 for your chairman's win as well!
