As we mentioned in our previuos post, four intrepid pandas participated in the final round of the CodeGate Hacking Festival competition. The contest finished 24 hours ago and, in what were some dramatic final minutes, we ended up seizing a pretty good 2nd position. We had a good start (as we often manage to pull off) and we were 1st during a big part of the contest but less than one hour before the end CParK team overtook us and grabbed the first position. That ranking seemed kind of definitive but 10 minutes before the end we managed to recover the 1st spot. We enjoyed nine minutes of glory until CParK solved a challenge in the last minute. The final top-3 was: CParK, Pandas and PLUS.

It was really fun despite the fact of finally not winning after being so close and we have to say thanks to all the organization, specially the beistlab members. Everything was taken care of and thought to the smallest detail. And obviously, greetz to all the teams and hope to face you in upcoming contests. All were amazingly skilled and fun to hang out with.

More news and photos are in the way so, stay tuned!!
Woobi woobi’s for everybody!
