It started off slow for us, seemed like we could never get all three robots on our alliances. I love this regional, its home! With Karen's scouting system it helped us jump from 38th to 14th on sat and then ending up 8th while picking alliances shocked us. Karen's data gave us the best options to pick from out there and we showed how valuable it was when we gave our buddies 1726, NERDS a scare! But alas it was not meant to be. Eddie our Pit master held on to his 2008 UL safety award by winning again! Karen finally got recognition after three years of developing a scouting system that rocks! Judges award. I would like to thank our alliances Tempe 1633 and Cesar Chavez H.S. 2128 for fighting to the last against the number one alliance. Congrats to Betty Fair fax H.S. 2844 for making it to Nationals-Rookie all-star! That makes two Phoenix Unions High Schools in Atlanta! Congrats to The Coconuts 2486 for their well deserved Chairman's win! Keep working it, AZ needs another national winner in a few years!! To our comrades to the south way to go NERDS! See you in Atlanta and NURC!
