NC was a blast. This will be one we keep in mind for next year. What great competition each team brought. Lots of improvements and lessons learned were applied to week 6. As 2751 mentioned, they made several (faster) improvements from Palmetto that took them to the next level...and hopefully, will pay dividends in St. Louis.
2415 and 48 were also some great standouts. They are both class acts on and off the field and I know they too will be successful in St. Louis.
342 was by far the most improved team from Palmetto. They came on strong toward the end at Palmetto but, like us, were missing some key aspects of the game. Well...they nailed it for NC and a true testament of their mentors and students digging deep and putting in the time to bridge those gaps. Your team is to be commended.
138 and 1287 were great alliance partners. We knew what 1287 could bring to the table after having them as partners in Palmetto, so we were excited they were still available. 138 was a great team and had a great machine. They could score tubes with the best of them. When we changed our strategy for Finals match 2 and went on defense/herding, you hung tube for tube what 2415 and 2751 put up. We just came up short getting our minibot deployed. Thanks for helping us make a good run for it.
Attached is a pic of 2415’s main circuit breaker that we destroyed in the last match when we went on defense. Sorry about that!
...Hope all is well for St. Louis.
