Iowa Regional was this past Friday and Saturday. We ended up being an Alliance Captain on the 8th Alliance. 
We did excellent throughout the entire event including qualification matches and finals. Even though we ended up getting eliminated in Round 3 of semi-finals we still have high hopes for the Seven Rivers regional.  During the time in between we will be making improvements on our robot, fine tune coding, replace some parts that were damaged during Iowa and prepare for lacrosse. Our early crew for Seven rivers Regional will be leaving on April 3rd and everyone else will leave on April 4th! check us out on blue alliance, we appreciate the support!

The 1625 Annual Open House was this past Sunday, March 10th! Thanks to everyone who came to see the Bot Shop and see our engineering process! We unfortunately didn't have our robot operational for the Open House, but our efforts were able to be shown. Along with our robot, there was a 20-year memorial set up, as this is our 20th season of FIRST. There was also a table with buttons and a tri-fold poster with an explanation of FIRST and a summary of our team this season. Our sponsor presentation was also displayed, rolling continuously from a projector on the garage door. Thanks to cookie providers for adding a sweet treat to our open house!
Again, thanks to anyone who came to the open house! We are excited to continue to document our progress (and share it with you) through the season!

Our Annual Open House is this Sunday March 10th 2pm-4pm! We will be showcasing our progress this season, Team history, and information about FIRST and the FTC and FLL teams mentored by Winnovation. We will also be providing cookies!
