2009 BAE Granite State Regional

[BHS Bucs]

Team 2621 sends thanks right back to Teams 121 and 175 for selecting us for their alliance. We are still in shock this morning that our second year team, not so recognized by the school yet and building in the back of a bio classroom, had the opportunity to compete with so many well-known and experienced teams - AND came home with an award. What a great final set of matches it was - to quote one of my students, "It's much more fun when the matches truly are a competition!" We had a blast in general - thanks to everyone for making that happen.

We were glad that the decision was made to allow several matches to be replayed - as one of the teams who sat dead in the water during our match, we couldn't believe we were loosing the chance to actually play. It was nice to be able to replay - even if we did loose (and what a great rematch #5 was!). We did feel that the FIRST officials tried to be fair and allow those matches to be replayed.
