Robotics Results from the Georgia Dome

The FIRST Robotics World Championship event held at the GA Dome, consisted of seven matches spaced out over a two day period.  World wide there are over 800 FIRST Vex teams.  "3 Brothers and Wesley" fought hard at tournaments in Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina to be one of the 100 winning teams represented at the Dome.  They fought hard and won six out of the seven matches played!  They ended up as the 3rd place Captain alliance in the Edison Division and triumphed through the quarter finals, but lost in the semi-final match.  In the second day of competition, the event was opened by President George W. Bush!  While speaking, President Bush commented that this event was the "WWF for smart people."  The team had the opportunity to meet and shake hands with Dean Kamen, the founder of the FIRST organization, inventor of the Segway, Auto Syringe (mobile dialysis machine), and the all terrain electric wheelchair (iBOT) among other accomplishments.  Congratulations team, we are all so proud of you and we look forward to a great return for next year!  ( Dean Kamen is in the group picture. )
