The IFI rep at the regional checked them out with what tools he had available on site and couldn't find anything wrong but said that we should send them into IFI to get them checked out...
From very humble beginnings and having to overcome several problems and obstacles, our little rookie team (9 kids & 2 mentors) prevailed. Although we missed the Thursday practices, by end of the day on Friday was able to score 2 ringers in our last match of the day.
Then on Saturday we were ranked 45 out of 52 teams (26 of which were also rookies). But instead of packing everything up after our last match, we got an awesome surprise... one of the teams that we helped to fix a problem with their robot the day before rose up to be the 7th seed team and chose to repay us a favor by choosing us as their 3rd alliance partner for the finals competition where teams play 2 out of 3 matches. Later, with the matches 1 apiece, our alliance almost squeaked out the rubber match- but what a rush to come from behind and be there competing in the final competiton on day 3....
Then surprise #2, we won the "inspirational rookie of the year" award....
All I can say is "Wow".... I am so proud of our team..
The two very important lessons learned for our rookie team this year were, stick to it and overcome all obstacles an help anyone along the way that you can...
What more can anyone ask for right?
