Palmetto Regional Week 0.5

[laplacier]

Hello everyone, now that I've had some time to wind down and catch up on my duties post Palmetto I wanted to extend a thank you to everyone who attended or watched the event. Our team had its own challenges at the competition, but we had a blast with everyone we had a chance to speak with. I'd also like to send another thanks to the members of MARS and Garnet Squadron (and other teams I may have missed) for staying after the event and helping us with packing away FIRST's playing field and accessories to be sent off to the next event.

With the new teams at the event we got to see and experience mechanisms we had never attempted to build before. I, personally, was astonished by what some of the teams were able to develop during the short build season. We will be spending our off season learning how to develop those mechanisms with the students so we can be better prepared for games which may benefit from them in the future. Always be prepared!

Congratulations to the winning alliance this year! I look forward to seeing how well you guys perform at St. Louis!
