Congratulations to all the winners, especially Kell High School for Chairman's Award. I came back in town to see the team I have mentored in the past 2415 - the WiredCats), who got off to a rough start. We had a tough time in the qualification matches, but started to improve with time. Team 2655 - the PlatyPi must have seen our improvements, because they picked us as well as team 832 - Chimera for the 8th seeded alliance.

From there, everything was golden for the alliance, as they won over the #1 alliace (1771, 1746, and 547? - excellent robots as well) in 4 rounds (one match was reset mid way through for communications problems and the reset ended in a tie). After winning in 2 matches in the semis, the #8 alliance went on to the finals to face teams 590, 1319, and 342 (the #7 alliance - I can't remember ever seeing the bottom two alliances face off in the finals). After two hard-fought rounds, the 8th seeded alliance of 2415, 2655, and 832 was victorious!

Anyways, I really enjoyed coming home for the Peachtree regional this year, it was a very exciting event! Congratulations again to all the winners and to all my friends at team 2415 for an incredible run! Hope to see everyone at Championships!
