Sorry about that! I remember driving to kettering on Saturday and remembering that I was supposed to get the TBA keys from Phil. We didn't have internet anyway :p (at least the field idk about the video setup)

Congratulations to Alliance #1 teams 226, 68 and 2960 for reaching the finals. We had a blast.

Congratulations to teams 27, 33, and 2137 on their win. We thought grabbing 3 of the 4 cans during auton in finals game 2 would give us a shot, but that was not enough. Congrats again.

We thought grabbing 3 of the 4 cans during auton in finals game 2 would give us a shot, but that was not enough.

Thanks for the videos. Yes, that last match was close. It was a great strategy and you almost pulled it off. Fortunately, we had our best match of eliminations and put up a 5(capped) and 6 stack. With 33's 20 point auton and 3 capped 6 stacks from the landfill, we were able to overcome the lack of a 5th can.

We had the same thing happen to us in the 3rd match of finals on Tesla. Even though we got 3 out of 4 cans off the step, we lost because the other alliance had a 20 point auton and put up more stacks.

I want to thank 27 and 33 for having the faith in picking us even though we did not perform well during qualifications. As a team, we did not meet over the summer and were trying out various rookie drivers, none of which had any match experience. Also, our first 2 qualification matches were impacted by a slipping encoder on our elevator. We did start to perform better later in qualifications which was noticed by 27 and 33. Since 27 had the ability to cap up to a 6 stack, we were able to concentrate only building tote stacks which greatly simplified things for us.
