We were selected to be on an alliance by Teams 1717 and 330 (seeds 1, 3. obviously both powerhouses). We competed well in the first 2 matches of QF. After that, our bearings on the AndyMark Mecs shot out one at a time. 3 or 4 matches later, after the second SF match, we had no working wheels and were dropped from the Alliance. Sure we could have put in better quality McMaster bearings (that's what we did before the next regional, Denver), but it was still more than frustrating.
