The new venue at SLU was very nice and the event staff did a great job. (Sorry I didn't get to say good-bye, Richard, but we were busy taking up that floor!)

There were a lot of professional and competent teams at St. Louis and the matches were competitive both days. We did not see a lot of pinning, boring play. The defensive bots did a good job blocking so their scorers could do their thing and not so much shutting down scorers in the corners. It made for much more interesting and exciting play.

And stop being so modest.

You left off the most impressive team there this weekend.

Team 16, the Bomb Squad was the top seed and also a regional winner.

Looks like you made the necessary changes since Midwest. Can't wait to see you in Atlanta.

it may not seem like much pinning went on from up in the stands at the St. Louis Regional, but when your down on the field like the drivers you see all of it. and there was a lot. a good pinner even before the official regional began (during the practice rounds the only time we faced them) the Channel Cats had a very successful robot. unbelievable pinning power and access to score. great robot. good team communication.
