WOW - what a regional!! We fielded a ton of questions about why we would come all the way from California to go to the Boston Regional. Well one of the reasons was that we heard it was one of the best regionals and it lived up to it by far. The caliber of competition was high, the teams were very nice and helpful - special thanks to Team 839 - Rosie Robotics for letting us borrow tools and such through out Friday and Saturday and team 549 - the DevilDawgs for the constant cheering and infectious spirit. Also thanks to Legendary Team 190 for clarifying why our robot code got erased in match 23 and a big congrats to you, Team 61, and Team 1099. Team 1153 - the Robo Rebels, your robot was amazing and it was fun trying to slow you down in the Quarterfinals. Thank you also to our alliance partners 125 - the Nutrons for picking us, and also team 1350 the Rambots.

Also, we did take part in the Freedom Trail tour on Wednesday morning - burrrrr, and also a tour of MIT. We had several students applying to schools in the Boston area and they very much enjoyed the trip. If the opportunity ever presents itself to any of you, please consider coming out west - we'd love to have you and would welcome you with enthusiasm.
