I know alot teams have some good stories and bad stories to tell about this year's competition. Let's here them! I want to know what happenned to many of the robots I thought were favorites e.g. CDV, Wildstang, Baxter Bomb Squad and Heatwave. Some of us were so wrapped up in our own robots we couldn't keep track of other robots we were interested in.

CD5 was doing great at the Nationals, 7 seeding matches, 7 wins, respectable scores.

We selected great alliance Teams 312 Heat Wave and 201 Rochester.

In our first match we had what we considered the hardest matchup, Nypro is great and they had strong alliances. Near the end of the match as we were trying to steal balls our upper section ripped from the crossmembers, the welds were good but metal fatigue took its toll. We were out of the competition. I think we polished the area to much :)

In the next match 201 went in and fought a great fight in our place but the opposing alliance was too good.

Chief Delphi had a great season.
1st in Michigan
3rd in Rutgers, Top Seed
1st in Chicago
9th seed at the Nationals
Chairmans Finalist award.

Wait until next year!
