That was the most satisfying and frustrating regional I've ever been a part of.

After a rough three games to start, our robot went on to outperform any robot we've ever built, including our #1 seed, nearly-undefeated 2010 FLR champion robot. This included four of eight games where our robot executed what we designed it to do almost flawlessly, proving repeatedly that we could cross any defense, reliably score low, and scale the tower in seconds flat....

And we went 2-10 through the two days (including the two QF games with our downright nonsensical alliance.) We couldn't win for losing, despite meeting the vast majority of our engineering goals.

I've never witnessed a robot do that well and that poorly at the same time, and I'm as proud of my team as I am utterly befuddled.

Still, awesome regional, with some of the best people--both volunteers and other teams--of anywhere, anytime, ever. Congrats to all!
