Our team went to 2 regional events for the first time in team history. At the Georgia Southern Classic, Team 4188 came in 42nd out of 42 teams. The team became more and more focused in the next few weeks and found the best way to interact our robot with the human players. Our litter score was 11th in the world from both throwing across the field and placing in garbage cans. At the Peachtree regional, we ended up 2nd after the qualifications and during the playoffs our scores continued to climb. In the end, Team 4188 was 1st out of 66! Worst to FIRST!!
