+Hi!
+
+It's been a long time since we last updated our site.
+
+Over the past few months we've made great progress. Here's an update.
+
+# In recent months
+## Our first tournament
+
+We prepared for and entered our first competition, the [East Tokyo tournament](https://rcjj-kanto.org/tokyo/).
+

+
+We placed 10th out of 17 teams with a score of 308 points.
+
+We couldn't perform our best because the Raspberry Pi on our robot shut down during the second run.
+
+Fortunately, because it shut down just before we were about to start, we were able to restart it and resume the run from the middle.
+
+## Our second tournament
+
+Despite the troubles at the East Tokyo tournament, we were able to compete in the [Kanto tournament](https://rcjj-kanto.org/).
+

+
+Despite unexpected issues, we placed 1st out of 14 teams with a score of 408 points.
+
+This was a great achievement for us, and we're very happy.
+
+We also received the "Robocuper Award", which is given to the team with the best poster.
+
+# Finally
+Thanks for reading!
+
+We'll keep improving our robot and will post updates in the future.
