Day #32: 4.5 Champions!

Woah! Wowzers! OMG! Today was Game Day for the BEST robotics competition in Kansas. A day full of driving robots to score points and showing off our team via spirit and a booth. Crazy! Oh, and guess what? My lovely team and I qualified for regionals in Arkansas! We got 5th in robots overall after narrowly making it into the semifinals via the wildcard slot (thanks to my notebook). We then went on to get 4th in the BEST competition! ASDFaweij asfehowheoawoe ajwoe! Whoo!

Today, I learned...

1. ... that two years can be enough time to rock it. This is only our second year in BEST robotics and look how far we have gotten! I am so awesomely proud! 
2. ... that there is no victory quite like a CG Robotics victory. We went crazy! 5th place, yes please! Screaming, chanting, jumping, dancing, hugging. I might have seen a few tears.
3. ... that scary witch faces and little children are very scary. Sure, being tired added to my fear, but my loud squealing in the theater was mostly due to the scary witch faces. Thanks Paranormal Activity 4.

Also, congrats to the other teams going to Arkansas from the Kansas hub (Wichita Homeschool, Ambassadors for Christ, Circle, Kapuan). Wichita Homeschool dominated taking first in robots and BEST. I thank them so much for helping push us in the right direction last year.
