2014 FRC San Antonio Regional

The Alamo Regional FRC in San Antonio, Texas was held February 27, 28, and Saturday March 1, 2014. The team flew in on Wednesday morning, February 26. Teacher Bryan Silver and Librarian Anne Torige accompanied the students. Andrea and I did not attend this FRC, the first FRC we've missed since we started mentoring the team in late 2010.

3008 was picked by the top seeded alliance captain 624 CRyptonite and 118 Robonauts and became Regional Winners, qualifying the team to attend the World Championship in Saint Louis, Missouri, in late April. Thanks to Khoi Le who posted most of these photos on Facebook.

Robonauts robot. I had told the students to say hi to Rob Ambrose for me. He's a NASA JSC manager and a mentor with
118 Robonauts.


The Robonauts always have a great machine.
