The regional tournament was located in San Antonio and the team took first in qualifying matches. They then partnered with the NASA Team 118 from Clear Lake ISD and Team 3008 from Hawaii. The whole group did not lose any of their matches.

After working on their robot, Sidewinder, for six weeks the team received the Imagery Award and the Chairman’s Award. This is the first time Team 624 has been given the Chairman’s Award.
