Yeah, definitely. If I remember correctly, on Saturday, by the time of the last quals, even with a field fault happening, we were still ahead of schedule by a few minutes.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of SBPLI. Everyone involved made the event very fun. For some odd reason, some of our scouts and I noticed that we were feeling much less exhausted than during our first regional, despite similar sleeping schedules. Actually, we may have ended up with even less sleep on a couple of those days. I personally learned a lot to develop scouting even more in the future, as well. I've gotta give props to the musical performances that happened during the event, too. They all performed swimmingly!

Thank you to all of the volunteers and organizers who made this event what it was, and congratulations to all of the teams! This game was a very interesting one to design and build for, and I was very proud of all of the work teams put into their bots! To those of y'all going to champs, I wish y'all luck! I hope you find a great and similar success.
