			<description><![CDATA[Today, we went to Harvey Mudd College for a robotics scrimmage. After around 6 hours of working on our robot we tested it out in two matches. These two matches would be the decider of the new driver. The first match we scored 2 goals, which was the most out of any robot on the field and on the next match we only scored one, again the most points scored by a single robot. By the end of the day i think that we were all happy with our performance at Harvey Mudd.]]></description>
