Please do, that was an impressive feat to say the least, I could hardly believe it when I saw it!

Big thank you to 1868 and 766 for partnering up with us Saturday afternoon. Thank you 1868 for working with us on getting your second minibot to work with our deployment system, I think both teams got a kick out of seeing it work so smoothly in such a short period of time.

I'm really proud of the students on 1678. The team has never made it past the quarter finals, never won any awards (except the rookie inspiration, since rookie all star was won by the only other rookie at the event), and only ever attended the sacramento regional in it's 7 year history. This year we "finished" the bot early, spent a week and a half programming auto and doing driver practice, and ended up only loosing one match the whole regional! Now the team is headed to St. Louis, and considering the team has never been to a competition farther than they can bike to, this is going to be a fun time
