Our drive team was talking about perfect alliances before the selections in Galileo, and 254 - 111 - 973 was the exact alliance that we felt was the best possible alliance that was realistically possible. So it was kind of hilarious when, having missed the alliance selection while at inspection, we realized that we were going to be paired against that exact alliance in the quarterfinals. It was really, really cool to play against them. All three of those robots and teams are just insanely good. Everybody knows that 254-111 is an amazing duo, but adding 973's sick minibot and defense really pushed them over the top.
