St. Louis FVC Championship

[Richard Wallace]

Congratulations to all the participants in today's St. Louis FVC Championship Tournament. The competition was much tougher than I had expected to see, with many very close matches and some high scoring. There were several robots that could hang consistently and a few that could rack up impressive high-goal scores.

I'm sure that there will be complete results and some pictures posted on the St. Louis FIRST site sometime soon (EDIT: results are up now):
