That year their two robots came in first and second at the west coast regionals, and they both made it to the final 16 at nationals.

All this done by a team with about 12 students, one very energetic teacher, one insane engineer/mentor, and very little money.

I wish we were all that good!

Well, I'm not sure you mean "very little money", because their two entry fees alone are about our entire budget.

I guess it is all relative....and I have nothing against that. Heck, we want to be in that position in a year or so....all we have to do is build up a reputation of doing good work and getting benefits from what we are able to do. (build it, and they shall come..."George Washington's" that is)

We are thrilled with the budget and support we have this year. We are "in the game" and that is a first huge step.
