Go to Post So why are we trying to go to Mars? It's because it's bigger, better, and bolder. Doing what nearly no other team can do, and defying all those who say it can't be done. That reward is a lot more than 9 points. - Mike [more]

Re: #TeamCatapult at the Orange County Regional

Congrats MK's and everyone listed ... was a very fun event to witness first hand. That finals was anyone's game to win two awesome and very smart alliances going head to head. Great Venue. I knew it would be a very close finals and was not disappointed at all.

Actually all the alliances did great even had and elimination TIE that went down to "cleanest match" tiebreaker. Something you don't see often.

We were on wait list for OC and ended up in CV..no complaints CV was great with FOUR WORLD CHAMPS but OC is so much closer. We would have loved to compete in OC with all the great teams there. I was visualizing us doing so when I was watching full matches thinking what if we did make it in where would we have ranked? A fun thought process. We would have at least scaled hopefully. No scalers I saw were successful at OC.

So many great regional's in California to choose from.

Anyhow best of luck to all teams , so happy the entire Finalist alliance got in via wildcards. That is so cool. Good luck in the worlds I'll be cheering all the CA teams on. Many of my favorite teams made it.

MilkenKnights have really grown into a powerhouse team. Such a long way from the red jump suits and cardboard castle.

Re: #TeamCatapult at the Orange County Regional

Thanks rsisk but we still have a long way to go. I also want to talk about #teamunblockableshot our cheesecake passive gravity whips were a creative strategy I have not seen at other regionals. It was fun seeing a uniques net vs whip meta game evolve over the weekend. If you look close at our robots you can see them. These "whips" will definitely make an appearance at worlds as it is an easy way to increase length during a match. They are a piece of plastic balanced straight up that falls down at the beginning of a match.
