Thumbs up Re: Thoughts of Chesapeake Regional...

awesome...just awesome...so glad we went to this one. as a rookie team, we were surprised that we did so well (at least for the first few rounds before experiencing technical difficulties). we were ranked 1st before lunch on friday! and we got so many complements on our robot [from people whose robots raped us] even though we thought it sucked (ie: falling autonomous mode, speed, control, design etc) i especially enjoyed talking to other teams about their robots and their journey until ship date. i talked to many of the teams, rookie and vet, about their sacrifices, team members, money problems, robot problems, everything. it was just really interesting to meet a new and intriguing group of people all driven to do such difficult tasks like building a robot (that sounds pretty corny, but im sooo serious)..
my whole team, all 13 of them (which was a joke sitting next to team 11's spirited 59879823478923 people haha), enjoyed watching all the incredible robots and competition at chesapeake. it was tough, but everyone of those rookie teams stood high under pressure. it was a lot of fun even though we weren't picked for the championship and i hope everyone else feels the way that we, team 1463 the TRANSFORMERS, did about Chesapeake Regionals!
