Congrats to all of the regional winners! 233 is a true inspiration with their persistence and never-quit attitudes! Their bot is truly amazing, though this year it's more for the fact that it holds so many examples of great engineering and so so many solutions to problems that teams face during build season.
There were also several other well designed robots there, who I stole snapshots of great ideas from
. There was so much creative use of materials that blended well with the overall appearance of the robot.
We'd like to give a
huge thank you to
1902, who not only put on a party, took care of us in the pits with tools, and cheered for us, but they also helped us with lunch all three days of competition. Special thanks to Ryan and Wendy for coordinating with us in advance. The flying pig on our hopper will still be there when we see you in Atlanta
It was nice to see Ed (again), Kit and Gabe in person, and I'm sure I saw many others in the CD community there without realizing it.
We'll see everyone in Atlanta!
