Breaker failures are not unknown. There were several reported in last year. We even had one that was caught before ship date.

Absolutely - kudos to the volunteers !! They made the best call they could. Especially it being a week one event !!!!!

1771 / 1466 / 1683 flat out had the best game in town next to our b-list robot. We build robots like Georgia Tech does football. Pretty good but not good enough. 1771 rolls into the Peachtree like Alabama or Texas football. Definitely on their game.

Super congrats to the winning alliance. I wish we could have made it a little more tense and closer finish. Enjoy the win.

Our breaker is on the bot and shipping to North Carolina. We are going to replace it. We can bag it for someone to look at or we can take a look at it ourselves. Are you interested in looking at it ? Do you want to see it in Atlanta?

Also from our school district, Gwinnett County: 1379 winning the Industrial Design for the sexiest bot, 1261 with an inaugural Dean's List winner. 3 awards and a regional win for our school system is pretty cool!
The Dean's List thing is something that concerned me (because of the short notice) but my fears evaporated when the winners were announced. The Dean's List winners are outstanding !! I got to spend some time with one of them at a previous engagement. Outstanding indeed !! Gwinnett county did great and also congrats to CircuitRunners for producing an EI and a Dean's List'er. In their 3rd year of existance and a TON of work Westminster 2415 bagged a Chairman's - Congratulations -well deserved !!

And super Congratulations to Ed Sparks for the WFFA. I was surprised to learn that he was not a prior recipient. Congrats indeed !
