Because it was Feb 14, we decided we needed to have a little Valentine's Day swag.
When the qualifying matches were over, we were ranked #5. We were very excited by how well we did, but were disappointed that we didn't automatically advance to the semifinals. But our disappointment didn't last when two of the top 4 teams joined the same alliance and that moved us up to 4th place!
As alliance captains, we got to choose 2 teams to form our alliance. Thanks to Brandon's excellent scouting, we thought we could made a good decision.
We selected Team Genius and Gears. We had about 15 minutes to form our strategy before the competition began.
We went into the competition with high hopes. And though we were competing against the no. 1 ranked team and alliance, we performed really well.
Unfortunately, we weren't able to win the semifinals, and our competition ended with us finishing 4th. We had a lot of fun competing with our alliance partners.
While we were disappointed, we were very proud of that accomplishment. 4th in a competition of 36 teams, and out of 80 teams in the state isn't bad!
Now we waited for the closing ceremony. We were very honored to win the Motivate award.
Then we were blown away to learn that we advanced to the Super Regional in San Antonio! Wow! What an amazing season!
Next, we packed up our pit and headed to our traditional celebratory dinner. It was a very good day!
