Qualifier: Part 2

Finally our hard work sees its first true payoff! After our tough loss in the semifinals at the last tournament we bounced back stronger than ever. We hit the drawing bored creating a new arm, tightening our wiring, writing more efficient autonomous programs, and finally our most under rated improvement was improving upon our driving skills. In the first competition we we thrown off by every unexpected variable on the field, from blocks, to down wires, all the way to a wheel popping off. This time, however, we were ready. Managing every obstacle and dominating the competition on every level. In addition to being a member of the winning alliance, we won the award for most creative and innovative design, and placed second for our programing and the inspire award. Since most of you aren't familiar with the competition I'll explain: the inspire award is the most prestigious of awards going to the team with most all around excellence and all finalist for the award qualify for states automatically. So when you break it down we went from a disastrous tournament to qualifying for states in 3 separate categories, stay tuned to see where our underdog story goes.
