How amazing to win this award, and earn a spot in the national competition at our first event!!

As all FIRST teams know, most of us sit on the edge of our seats as they describe the teams for the different awards... the second we knew it was us, we all started screaming! Such an amazing feeling! I think I might still be in shock weeks later!

We will also be competing in Buckeye this weekend and the Toronto regional next weekend... However, our team has decided that we are going to ask the judges not to consider us for the Rookie All Star award at these events, so that other rookies have a chance to win their way to Atlanta The more rookies in Atlanta, the better!!

See you all there!

That's amazing! You guys are awesome for doing that, letting other rookie teams get the award. I have a question though, you guys are going to three regionals and you are a rookie team!!!!!!!!!!!! Where did you guys get the funds for this! We are practically begging everyone for money for us to get to nationals.
