Thank you Oregon City

What a great way to start the competition season. I can't believe we get to go do it all again in 11 days! Definitely going to need lots of coffee. So happy for all my robotics kids(students). So proud of all their hard work and time paying off.

See you soon Wilsonville.
P.S. Come find me in the machine shop...

I too was impressed with the venue and organization. It really didn't feel much different than a regional other than a few less robots in the pits, and a bit faster match turnover.

I also want to congratulate the entire Shockwave team on an incredible tournament. Your robot is so powerful, reliable, and highly practiced that you hit the ground running extremely hard. Everyone else looked like rookies, even though you are the novice second year team. Your 83 points for the district event is crazy! 80 points is considered district perfection-nirvana! And your 16th place world ranking for a net OPR 78.6987 is also through the roof. Mean Machine was honored to be picked by you. Thanks also to the Clover Bots 3674 for doing a great job! Go Clark County!

I ditto Thad House's comment on 955, 1425 and 2733. I under-estimated just how much of a battle we would engage in, and I look forward to playing with you all again in future PNW tournaments. All three of our matches could have been flipped by a single play or event by either alliance.
