Exactly one week from today we will be at the New Mexico State Championships! Two teams from this event will qualify for the World Championships in Anaheim, CA in April. Last year with only 5 competitors we had the good fortune to win the Excellence Award which entitled us to go to Worlds. This year the event will host 15 teams! It is so exciting to see the growth in our state over the course of just one year. We have our work cut out for us this week making final programming and building changes as well as getting in some drive time.
If you are in Las Cruces next weekend, check out the event-we'd love to see our supporters there, especially after the 4am departure time from Albuquerque. We'll need all of the energy we can muster!

herroooooooooooo. Today is thursday february 6th and a ton of progress is getting made, sending thank you cards, programming, construction, deconstruction, the whole kazoo. State championships are coming up soon, feeling pretty confident in the two teams. There is alot of "re-modeling" for the two robots so we can do better in the state competition witch decides who goes to worlds.
