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.

Congratulation to Team 2818 (G-FORCE) on their Inspire Award. I also want to thank the College of Southern MD, and BAE systems and all the volunteers for the great event.

Phil,
We'll look forward to seeing you at Worlds. Hopefully together we can figure out more of the motor controller/encoder issues before then. I think the Blutooth gets blamed for a lot problems that are due to the motor controller lockups. In one of our qualifying rounds, the autonomous went haywire and the robot didn't move for a full minute of teleop. Then the driver remembered the switch and off we went. It looks like a field issue but it's not.
In retrospect, we should have picked your team for our alliance. Scouting was truly a nightmare with four fields going at one time in any order.
Jon
