As most people know by now, Team 1540 won the title of champion at the Oregon Regional (along with our partners, teams 368 and 1280), and now the Flaming Chickens are headed to Atlanta!

At the lunch meeting yesterday, the team voted almost unanimously to start improving Nemo so that we'll have a sporting chance at the Atlanta global competition. Most of us are heading down South in April, and it is a gross understatement to say that we're all excited.

Of particular interest to me is the fact that the website is now eligible to win in Atlanta as well. I'm not sure how good of a chance we really have, but we're going to make some improvements and see if we can turn our humble homepage into champion material. If all else fails, there's always luck, right? :)

In closing, thanks again to Team 368 & Team 1820 for helping bring our alliance to victory here in Oregon. Thanks to Eric, Trevor, Brad, and Kevin for being stellar robot operators, thanks to Dale and all our mentors for helping us through this exciting journey, and thanks, of course, to FIRST for making all of this possible. See you in Georgia!
