WPI regional: averaged 0.42 points a match (5 points over 12 matches)
We missed almost all of our matches because we were finishing our robot, and we were programing it too…

Boston Regional: averaged 42 points a match (our opr), semifinalists
with 1100 and 2349, 6th seed, audges award at the Boston Regional and our mentor received the Woodie Flowers Finalist Award (Joe Johnson)

Oh ya, and we "forgot" to tell people this at our regionals, but it is made out of mostly wood and plastic.
