Last week (March 22nd-24th), Team 1425: Error Code Xero attended the Seat­tle Olympic Regional.  After a bru­tal defeat in the quar­ter finals two weeks prior in Port­land, they were out for vengeance—gracious vengeance of course.  They were deter­mined to go all the way.  And that they did.  With a very close 2–1 vic­tory in the finals of the com­pe­ti­tion (work­ing along­side team 2557: SOTABots and team 2928: Viking Robot­ics) they were able to come back in the sec­ond and third games on the finals—winning the final game by just one point—by triple bal­anc­ing, even after los­ing hor­ri­bly the first final match.  Our oppo­nents (Team 1983: Skunkworks Robot­ics, team 488: X-Bot, and rookie team 4030: Null­Point­erEx­ecp­tion) were extremely tough, but some­how we were able to come out on top, win­ning the regional and secur­ing a spot in the FIRST cham­pi­onships 2012 in St. Louis, Missouri.

How­ever, it won’t be easy.  Team 1425 needs your help.  Located to your left is a link to our Pay­Pal account.  Please, if it isn’t too much trou­ble, donate a lit­tle bit, and help us out to be able to par­tic­i­pate in per­haps the most awe­some event on the face of the earth.  Thank you.
