Thumbs up [FTC]: Maryland FTC Championship

Phew...

Team 2818 (G-FORCE) just came back from competing at the MD event in La Plata MD. It was a long trip (4 hrs each way) but with a great outcome.

We got all the way to the finals (somehow) but ended up trailing behind in the last of the three playoff matches. Congratulations to FTC #0177 (Twisted Bots) and their winning alliance.

It was a wild ride with several "issues" with field controls, but the CSM team (lead by Jeff Tjiputra) did a great job, and it was a really fun event.

G-FORCE was also wildly pleased to win the "Inspire award", which gets us an invite to Worlds.

Hey Jon, maybe we'll get a re-match....
I'm going to add that remote power switch

Phil.

Thanks to the College of Southern MD, and BAE systems for sponsoring the event.
