January 13, League Meet 2 and 3 - The 2nd and 3rd meets were cancelled due to weather which kept us in 6th place coming into the Midwestern Tournament. 

February 3, FTC Willamette Valley League Tournament at Thurston High School. 

In the tournament we had a much more capable robot, but we were also against much more capable opponents. We ended ranked 10th place in the league which was just good enough to get an invitation to the second chance tournament February 17 and 18 at Philomath HS.
