The FTC Missouri State Championship was held in Rolla, Mo on Saturday, February 24th. Despite the damp weather and the 'State of Emergency' declare by the Governor, the atmosphere at the event was festive. The championship hosted the top 48 teams from Kansas and Missouri. The Kansas City area was well represented with 12 teams, 175 players and coaches, and 4 volunteers.
On the field Kansas City placed 7 teams (of the 24) on to alliances for the playoffs. The finals in the 'T' division featured Tesla's Knights versus Team Titanium Tech. In the 'S' division Astromechs prevailed. This setup a state championship that featured Astromechs versus Team Titanium Tech. As one would expect with these teams, it took three games to decide a winner, but the Astromechs alliance prevailed.
