Upon the end of two tedious hours of speeches, the CocoNuts rushed to get their FRC Kit of Parts and to begin their drive back to Flagstaff. Excluding the “who’s going to the rest area” misunderstanding on the way back up, everything went fine.

Upon the CocoNuts’ return, they inventoried all their parts, and found all of them in the right quantities and sizes, but with a few exceptions of course (*cough* e-ring *cough*). It was strange for the CocoNuts to use their very first room dedicated to robotics to inventory the Kit.

In all, Kickoff was a blast for all the CocoNuts, and soon they will all (rookie and veteran), experience the nail-biting, hair-pulling fun (or anger) that the FRC build season brings.
