There's no way that should have been last place. Maybe they mixed your team up with some other school that got DQ'd or they thought you didn't enter a robot.
Vex is becoming a plague. :( A lot of Vex stuff is really overpriced (esp. electronics), and they lock you in with some of the proprietary components.
Wish I'd seen the cooler indoor flights though. I'm normally the WS person and programmer, but there were no other builders, so I had to build the bots.
Nice job! But how did you get 20th? Our robot got all the tennis balls and batteries into zone B AND we popped 2 balloons, bet we got last place! Oh well. Maybe they just gave us last place because small schools are statistically supposed to perform not as well. I'd say you still deserve more credit than us (We used VEX :P).
BTW, do you know if anyone posted a video of the Jedi/bird fight in the auditorium? :D
