Same here for 3244 first offseason event. We really enjoyed the competition format and allowing us to give our very young team "Rookie season 2.0" this experience. Many of our team members had observation jobs at regionals with only one "Freshman" that had a drivers spot last year. All the kids (5) had an opportunity to participate on the floor. Some seemed to love it others not so much. That's what's great about FRC so many jobs from IT/support to Front man/ face of the team.
We where honored to join the 4th ranked alliance Teams 4656 Rock Solid Robotics out of Two Harbors, and 2175 The Fighting Calculators from Woodbury and nearly pull off the big upset vs. the #1 alliance. It took 3 tries at the tie beaker before 4009, 3883, 4480 figured out how to defeat 3 functioning robots. Everyone must admit that was a nail biting 30 minutes of competition.

We had so much fun and we will be most definitely be returning next year.
