Day 96: Championship Day 3

Wow, what an overall amazing weekend for the TechTigers. Today was the third day of the 2007 FIRST Championship Event in Atlanta, Georgia and what a day it was. We played our last two matches, ending the qualifying matches 3-4. We were not chosen during the alliance selections, but we greatly enjoyed watching and learning from the Galileo elimination rounds and the consecutive finals on Einstein. [Congrats to team 1270 for winning in the Curie division and making it to Einstein!] Our team then attended the 2007 Championship Wrap Party, which was held indoors in the Georgia World Congress Center this year due to inclement weather; the Wrap Party was loads of fun and a great way to round-off the 2007 FIRST season. We will be heading back to South Florida bright and early tomorrow morning. w00t, 1251!
