1346C qualified, but we're saving our travel money for a run at Atlanta one of these days with the big machine.

We'll be cheering for our neighbours, from Gladstone secondary (I believe 721 has the current world record in driver skills at 131 points) and our Redmond friends from the Exothermic teams (one of whom has a driver skills score of 130.)

And yes... the BC VEX Championships WERE a pretty awesome event when you've got driver skills scores of 130 and 131 at one event, especially when the teams have been going head to head (and sometimes allied together... frightening when that happens) for three years now!

Its a pity there are 100 teams in each division, though. Even with a full-complement FRC team it is difficult to thoroughly scout a 100 team event. With smaller VEX teams, it is going to be next to impossible to pick out the top 24 from a pool that size.

Eight 50 team divisions would have been a much more reasonable breakdown, although I know the logistics and volutunteer resources required would be higher.
