Well guys G-Force was let know two nights ago by an email from FIRST saying all the Lottery Spots are filled. We may have won the Championship we attended as first pick but still didn't make it past lottery. One thing I hope FIRST might change in the future to be more like FRC and let all of the winning alliance attend. Atomix 3923 one of our sister teams has qualified though! So come done by the pits and see them. I should be traveling with them as help for them or any team that wants help in code or electrical problems.

I have also signed up to be a referee, FCS operator, or queuing volunteer so I hope to see you all there!

One way to make suggestions to FIRST about future events is to have your team contact/coach/mentor fill out the survey that was recently emailed to them about future growth plans. It is very important and you will help get your voice heard.

Check with your main contact on how they will answer the questions (or have answered the questions if they already had).

I know. It was just added yesterday thanks! We had actually started disasemmbing the robot last week. We were extremely mind-blown when we checked yesterday.
