ROBOTICS COMPETITION WAS A BLAST!@

You'll recall those impressive high school kids who showed us their robot as they prepared for this year's competition. This weekend featured the 2016 West Regionals at Taco Bell Arena. There were 30 teams from as far away as Texas and Minnesota. Our team "Team Taters" ranked #1 in the qualifiers but lost out in the finals.  The Arena was packed and the fans were really LOUD!
