The picture shows our Team #1648 together with our Robot at the Peachtree Regional this weekend. Together with our Alliance Partners from 832 (Chimera) and 1102 (M'Aiken Magic) we placed 2nd after 2 incredible exciting matches vs the guys from 801, 281 and 1261. Thanks to all the people that helped us getting there!

See you at the Finals : ) …

Looks like the start of a good team to me. How did you guys do at Peachtree? And I don’t just mean how well did you compete, am I mislead at all by the smiling faces?

Your bot was one of the best rookie bots i saw from this weekends events. I would like to congratulate you on your awesome team and bot. Your name “Gearbox Gangsters” is also pretty cool. Good luck at Nationals!..Hope to see you there

I watched the Peachtree Regional on the NASA TV webcast from Toronto.

You guys definitely have one of the coolest robots in the entire competition!

It was so much fun watching that little robot get loaded up with three tetras, then slamming them home seconds later.

Great autonomous mode!

Sweet Team!!!

You guys were the best rookie team that i saw at Peachtree, you were more constant in auto then most vet teams. Congrats on doing so well and I hope to be able to see your great bot at Nats.

Congrats on being a finalist at the Peachtree what a great way to start your FIRST careers. Also the Rookie All Star now that is one to be proud of, keep up the good work and see you at Championships.

You guys are the best! Rookie All Star and 2nd Place in your rookie year. I can’t wait till Championships.

Think big…National Champions is not out of reach. :slight_smile:

What a great robot…I am glad to hear you all won the Rookie All Star award. Hopefully your human player will now get a chance to catch her breath…

Thanks for all your comments : ). We’re really looking forward to the Championship now and to meet tons of new awesome teams and people like we did at the regional again. We never imagined that we could do that well while we were working on our bot, we were just totally suprised (and happy of course).
For me FIRST is one of the best things I’ve done in my life so far and I’m still trying to figure out how I can get back to the US next year : )!

lol Felix, don’t worry, We need you, I think rumor is going around that we are going to fly u back just for it.
