To say the least, our first competitive event of the year, the Hat Tricks Qualifier, was a crazy roller coaster ride! We ended up winning 3 of our 5 matches, despite experiencing so many unforeseen mechanical and programming problems. While the victories were nice, the team was feeling rather disappointed. We clung to a glimmer of hope that quickly faded as our team was not selected to compete in the semi-final matches. As the awards ceremonies continued to progress, our spirits were pretty low. However, we received a jolt of positivity when we were informed that we had been nominated for the THINK AWARD. Simply being nominated was quite an honor, however, we became absolutely ecstatic when we were announced as the award's recipient. Our emotional state was bolstered to yet another new high when, several minutes later, we were awarded the first runner-up recipient of the INSPIRE AWARD. As a result of this distinction, we earned a trip to compete in the state competition to be held in February. What a day!
