Congratulation on your first championship in 12 years.

It was great playing with you guys. After watching you for for two days with robot parts all over your pit I was glad you got it together to help us and the Rocketeers bring home the banner.

I must say that is an epic story. I think drivetrain failure is one of the most frustrating and demoralizing thing that can happen at a FIRST competition. The drivetrain is just so important to robot functionality. I remember, when I was in high school, how horrible it is to have your robot being unable to compete while you franticly work to fix the robot. I can only imagine how great it must have felt to get that robot repaired and win the competition. Hearing stories like these always makes me think how great FIRST is. Thanks for sharing.

That is just amazing! :eek: Congratulations!

Congrats guys. I knew the team 20 scouting team ranked you highly, and we were amazed when we were able to pick you. During all those ties, your robot looked like the most comfortable thing in the building!

Way to only tell the #1 alliance that you were fully functional :rolleyes: (kidding, of course)

Glad it worked out for you guys in the end. Hopefully in CT we'll be able to play with you guys in a fully functioning qual match on both our ends, rather than just throwing the match for more points. You guys rocked.

Thanks to everyone on teams 230 & 20 for having the faith to believe we were back in action. It would have been nice to contribute more offensively, we'll have autonomous up and running for Hartford, but we can play good old New England defense with the best of them.

The drive team will be back in a scoring mentality, too. It was frustrating when we didn't immediately find the bearing problem as it was masked by the minor issue with steering. It was forcing the drivers to over drive what was originally a very smooth and responsive drive train. We'll get the delicate scoring touch back now.

Let this be a lesson to all teams, never give up, and never count yourself out of a competition. Believe in yourself and your robot design, work hard and miracles do happen in FIRST. :cool:
