Congratulations on your progress.

I'm not sure if "a wheel away" is meant as an expression. If not, can you elaborate on what happened such that a single wheel decided a competition win?

I witnessed it too. UNC Asheville district event - they were in Finals match 2 and had just deposited the last boulder to take down the tower and they slipped off the batter at the buzzer as they tried to park. They would have won that match and potentially the next match too if that tire had been on the batter! It was a close match and awesome to watch.

F1 also featured a ball getting stuck right under an alliance partner as they went under the low bar, giving us a tech foul that undid a capture. :) Just some bad luck from a very green drive team that had to face the two best robots at the event head on; I'm proud of them.
