Re: Potomac Vex League (PVL) Events
PVL folks,

See my post above to see a recap of Friday AND Thursday results. I have been editing yesterday's post to insert today's results into it. I have now reached the 10000 character limit in that one, and consequently I will use this post to track the Vexy Things progress if they get drafted into the finals.

With their 3-1-0 record, and their ability to score mass-quantities of balls worthy of a Conehead skit; I am optimistic they will be in an alliance.


3013 Gears of War 2-2-0 Qual Rank = 44
3065 Holy Rollers 1-3-0 Qual Rank = 82
3148 Fight Club 2-2-0 Qual Rank = 45
3317 Robocats 2-2-0 Qual Rank = 61
3549 Vexy Things 3-1-0 Qual Rank = 31

Top Eight Teams and their drafted allies:

But Hey! Don't put your tools away yet!
The Potomac Vex League off-season is just beginning.....
We all need to learn how to do something that stumped us or seemed out of our reach during this season (I have a long list).
We all need to try unusual, risky, or just plain fun designs in low-pressure just-for-fun scrimmages.
We all need to contribute to and attend workshops where we share, teach and learn. A rising tide floats all boats....
We all need to recruit at least one new team member.
We all need to inspire more teams to form and support them through their rookie year(s). This year we finished with 559. Next year, let's have at least 1000!

Janet Lathn, Terri Wiseman and I look forward to seeing you at the Stonewall Middle School, Lockheed Martin and Potomac Vex League's Roboticon Hangin'-A-Round scrimmage April 21st. I especially want to hear some stories about the experience of going to the World Championships from you who got to attend!
We aren't done yet. FVC is just getting started!
