Trust me, I was calm.

A very cool fact about that match. There were two future WFFA Einstein coaches who were student drivers in that match. Can anyone spot the other?

As for the story of 2056, their lead teacher Stan Hunter attened 1114 meetings as an observer for the entire 2006 build season. That summer 1114, led by then college mentor Tyler Holtzman build a new Aim High robot as a summer prototype. This robot was then used by 2056 at an off-season event that they entered as a pre-rookie team, with Tyler coaching them. 2056 was then mentored by 1114 for the 2007 season, but it was really the guidance provided by Stan and Tyler that got them started on their meteoric ascent.
