Canadian teams have not come to either Sacramento or Silicon Valley yet.

btw...there are many more excellent Western robots
Matt D,

I love your robot, but while we're on the topic of teams competing across country, let's take a little stroll down memory lane.

The year is 2002. The game is Zone Zeal. The site, is the Buckeye Regional. The result, the Poofs lose in the semifinals. If my memory serves me correctly, you guys have won 9 of the 11 regional events you've ever been to. Could it just be a coincidence that you happen to lose the only one you've been to outside of California? Hmmm. Or maybe you'll do what I like to do, and blame it Clarkson...

Just stirring the pot...
