That match was probably one of the most amazing displays of agile mobility I have seen in a FIRST competition. We were all convinced that 1261 had been hiding their talents up to that point, and finally decided to really show their capabilities. And when they did, was it ever impressive!

All of Team FRC116/FVC18 had a great time at the Peachtree regional - they know how to do it right in Duluth! It was a great competition, and a lot of fun.

Although I wish I had been able to give away the donuts, I guess that just leaves more for me...
