Hey Chi Meson! Great job winning WPI BattleCry13. I read the account on your webpage, and it sounds like you had a blast. http://www.team2168.org/index.php/media/2012/261-wpi-battlecry-13

I was hoping to join my son's team (3044) at the event, but it didn't work out for me. They had a great time, and each time they learn a bit more.

Thank you so much. We are so completely stoked.

As luck would have it, by random drawing in from a bucket, team 125, the NU-TRONS, were given to our our alliance. The NU-TRONS and we are the two New England teams going to the Indiana Robotics Invitational in July.
