Thanks to all responsible for another fun and exciting North Carolina Regional!
The difference between the #5 seed and semifinalists and the #1 seed and likely finalists or better is a minibot launch failure in a single Saturday qualifying match. The little things matter, folks.
I am very proud of our drive team who elevated their scoring game far beyond what they accomplished in Tennessee. They increased their OPR posting despite a breaker shutoff following an opponent's particularly nasty high speed ram, and a minibot failure to launch.
I will take back to back 55+ OPR's any day, and I know we've got more in the works to try and increase our output at the Championship. Despite the final result, I feel we advanced onward and upward in NC as we continue to prepare for St. Louis.
Many thanks to 342 and 1735 for giving the eventual winning alliance a run for their money in the semifinals. Congrats to 2415 (owner of the amazing exploding circuit breaker

) and their alliance on the victory, and congrats to all the award winners.
