We were neighbors with 973 in the pits, and they are really nice people. Their robot is extremely polished and well put together, and I hope lots of people saw how great their driving is. I'm glad we had a chance to play against them.

Right before alliance selections, I was talking with them, and they were saying that they'd basically be a liability to most teams as a first pick given their lack of a working autonomous mode. The combination of 254's double uber and other teams' lack of one helped to align the stars to create basically the perfect alliance. I'd be curious to know if they just slipped under the radar or if the team captains were consciously valuing the third uber tube over the super minibot + super driving.

Even if you could pick any three robots from any divisions, it would be tough to beat this alliance. I think it would be fun to see the champs play against 148 and 1114 with 469 on defense.
