I'm a mentor for a FIRST robotics high school team. Our robot made it all the way to the final round, but we lost 3-2.
This year's challenge is that the robots play soccer.
A huge effort - we're going to another competition this weekend in Ann Arbor, MI. Here is one of our matches, on youtube (team 2619):
BTW - skip to 2:00 for a neat surprise that only a few robots could do.

As a representative of team 1625, I and I'm sure the rest of my team wish you the best of luck at Ann Arbor. Week 1 we also narrowly missed taking home the gold (lost by 2 pts at the Greater Kansas City Regional) and we've been quite busy preparing for Midwest. Hope you guys make it to Atlanta.
