This year's game is fairly harsh in several aspects, we like to watch a Week-1 regional up close so we can know what to expect. All teams had problems of robots running up on balls, it was almost a guarantee that robots would put balls under the bridges (only GatorZilla could remove them if they were close enough to the edge), and it was good to see if teams would try to make use of the Key to draw penalties (like 1477 was a master at doing).

418 loved going to the Alamo Regional, we had our Lead Technical Mentor (me, Danny Diaz) as ScoreKeeper/Field Power person, and our Head Coach (Tony Bertucci) was one of the Lead Robot Inspectors. Several team members came down to watch, to size up the competition and the robot capabilities we will need to match.
