It was a great Bash.

The drama in most of the matches showed what a great game "Ultimate Ascent" is/was

Winners:
2168 Falcons, showed the value of driver training.

236 TechnoTicks, with yet another unique overachiever. (No Wombo Combo, though)

4055 NRG, playing their role well, especially after 2168 chose to block 195, and they shut 195 down when they moved to the other side of the field.

Finalists:
195 Cyberknights, you know you've built a scary beast when the opposing alliance has to assign 2 robots to stop you. Awesome targeting system, true to the end.

1099 DiscoTechs, great prevent on the defense that you provided to 195 until the double team.

3634 Hard Botties, you guys had a great day. You could score and played effective defense until your drivetrain betrayed you late. Best Safety Glasses in the house.

The return to the High School was welcome.
Tight arena which was Goldilocks for the number of teams.
Makes me look forward to the districts.
Beautiful new light and airy commons for the pits. Efficient food service.
Great places to wander outside to eat and meet friends and play frisbee. (Not sure where all the frisbee's came from.....)

The DJ, though green, was excellent. Appropriate volume levels that built up to the finals. Some panic (what'd we do with the Harlem Shake"? I know we downloaded it somewhere")
Nothing was overplayed and the teams danced.
Thanks to team 1818181 for leading the shake.

Congratulations to the Winners. 2168 Aluminum Falcons, 236 TechnoTicks and 4055 NRG. A GREAT bash! You guys played an awesome strategy and in the end came out on top....many congrats from 195 to all of you on matches well played.

195 thanks 1099 and 3634 for a great elimination run! Was a great ride!

Thanks to our gracious hosts for an awesome event. So appreciative to have the opportunity to show our new Freshmen what FIRST is all about.

195 is looking forward to working with all of you in the 2014 season! New Bots, New Games, New Adventures!

I had such an awesome time at Bash this weekend. It was a pleasure getting to see everyone once again, and getting to have another dose of robots fun.

Congrats to 2168, 236, and 4055. It was a nail bitter in those last 3 matches, but admirably played at best. Also congrats to 195, 1099, and 3464 on Finalists, it's always an awesome time seeing your machines play.

Bash was really the beginning of a new era for my personal involvement with FIRST, and while change is hard, this weekend really got me excited for all the new things the future will hold, (mentoring a new team, being involved more with volunteering at events, etc.). I can't wait for the 2014 season and everything it will bring!
