Yeah, well... I personally can't say I expected our team to get picked after all the mechanical and/or controls breakdowns we had. Breaking down every other match was not fun for the pit crew.

The only good thing I can say that besides making the difference on the rack in the eliminations is that we probably won't have nearly as many breakdowns at 10,000 Lakes in a few weeks. Especially since we're rebuilding a good portion of the robot in the next few weeks to forestall any problems we're aware of (and they're many... including lack of a minibot and reliable deployment, slides in the elevator coming loose because we forgot to use locktite on them, and making a spare grabber and... wait a minute, I'm rambling... I should probably stop now).
