1836 had a great time. The entire regional was extremely competitive, and we were pretty surprised by the depth of the field.

We'd like to thank 696 for picking us. You guys build beautiful machines, and it was a pleasure working with one of the best teams in California. We'd love to work with you again.

The alliance would not have been complete without 5137. You guys were a pleasure to work with to cheesecake your robot, and I'm glad you guys get to use the can grabber for SD(gotta thank GB for that too). You guys were on top of our list for capping(just what we needed) and I expect to see good things from you guys in the future.

Congrats to both the winning and finalist alliances. Eliminations were really tight and the finalist alliance was just as stacked(pun not intended) as the powerhouse alliance of 330, 1717, and 2791. I'm glad that we will see 3512 and 4201 at worlds too.
