I lost count of how many tetrix motors and batteries we bought and burned up trying to get it right. We showed up with a sub 2 second minibot week 2 and everyone who didn't have one copied the 3 of us who did.

Getting sub 2 seconds for regionals was important to master, but for championship you had to be below 1.5 for divisions and below 1.1 for Einstein, because thats how things elevate.
