*Yes, I loaned them a crucial part after their first semi match against us. No I wasn't stalling in my search for it, I really couldn't find it till the 2nd match was about to start. And then they didn't even use it and their gyro went wonky again in the finals. Ingrates.
Thank you again Kevin for the help. Like I said I still believe the gyro is fine and that both problem matches were the result of a calibration issue caused by the quick turn arounds and not fully understanding how the gyro calibration works. We will be testing this when the robot gets back to our shop this week.

Also all three of our alliance robots had petty catastrophic failures in the first 25 seconds of the match. 3320 smoked a Jaguar and had to be disabled, our gyro code was having fits, and 2936 had their minibot fall to ground. The 1st seeded alliance put up a score of 131 against us, even if we all had been working well it would have been hard to top that. Congratulations again to 118, 1477, and 1801.
