Hey y’all! I was the event supervisor for Trajectory C at last weekend’s Seven Lakes Invitational. Firstly, congratulations to all of the teams that competed! The quality of devices that I saw was incredible, and I could tell that a lot of work went into each aspect of your devices. Overall, I felt the event ran fairly smoothly, and I hope that no one had to wait too long to test their device. Congratulations to LASA A, Cypress Falls B, and Clements A for being the top 3 teams, in that order.
