I actually didn't see the quarterfinal matches as they were right after our matches, but during qualifications 2481 had a fast consistent minibot. In 2481's match with 148 earlier, they pushed tubes towards the rack for 148 to score. We worked with 2481 for a match at Wisconsin and they are a smart, organized team that gets strategy. So, I understand the pick, but I'm not sure if they would have been my top pick at that point.


Although it was an early exit for 1732, I couldn't be happier with how we preformed. Signing up for the Championship 10 days before it started, having only a couple meetings to improve the robot, and only 1 day to practice with our entirely new driveteam (other than field coach), my goal was just to be playing Saturday afternoon, which we did. Thanks again to 1676 for the selection and 2415 for being a great alliance partner. Its rare to be the #2 seed and trying to figure out a way to slow down a stronger scoring #7 alliance, but we gave a good run at it.

Congrats to 217, 1503 and 25 on the Divison title.
