What a crazy fun weekend! We ended up going 2-2 in the playoffs today and joined with one of our alliance partners Pioneer Robotics (Davenport, Ia) to take out the #1 alliance 💪🏻

We made so many new friends from all over the US and the world and couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Let’s do it again next year!
