After some sleep, I finally have all my thoughts together on the last three days.

2021, thank you so much for picking us! It was exciting to be allied with our local neighbors. 975, you guys made a great alliance partner. We put up a good fight and lost to amazing teams.

After seeing the concerns about week 1 regionals, I was a bit worried about penalties at this one. Yes, penalties did determine many matches, but every single penalty was announced with a cause and a team so that drivers could learn from their mistakes. I really appreciated that effort.

The matches were much more exciting than I expected this game to be and I realized that it was possible to play a defense that did not involve robot-to-robot contact (keep-away, protecting a placed trackball, etc.)

All in all, it was an amazing event and a great way to start my last competition season as a FIRST student.

P.S. 339 can't wait to be neighbors with 359 next week!
