Wow, I'm just in a daze after that competition. Why bother going to Atlanta, when you could go to L.A. I'm sure many of the robots there could have won regionals elsewhere (and many did). I am very honored to be apart of my team, that did so much with so little, for all four years of high school. Our robot was capable of doing everything exactly as we had hoped when we designed it way back in January. We have never ever had a robot do that. I hope that in the future, we can persuade the district to actually support us, and not hinder our efforts to meet. Maybe one day they could actually consider us a team at least. Unfortunately it is my last FIRST competition as a student, and I never got to see our team live up to its potential. I think the real goal of the team has been fulfilled though, with every High School senior going into an Engineering university. One is going into Biomedical engineering, another into electrical engineering, one into arcitectural engineering, and I'm headed into Aerospace engineering, where I will bring airplanes to the poor man. Thank You all for making this experience incredible, I hope college robotics is as difficult as this!
