I'm still blown away by that final match; when I saw 234 stop moving, I assumed we be going to a rubber match. I told our driver to dump the bridge anyway, in case cyberblue came back online. When 772 tipped the bridge toward us, and told us to jump on, we were a bit surprised. Our bot wasn't meant to be on the bridge, but due to some awesome driving by 772 and our driver, it somehow worked out. I'm still not sure how, though.

I'm curious why 3259 was allowed to compete with those bumpers, though. |
I'm not sure why they allowed those bumpers either. We brought additional fabric to cover up the extra numbers, but the inspectors passed them before we could fix them.
I'm extremely proud of this team. Out of all the teams I've mentored over the past nine years, it's the smallest, but I've never seen a team more motivated than this. I have to chase them out of the work room at night, and they're waiting for me the next morning. I knew we built a competive machine, but after a frustrating thursday, and a dissapointing friday, I was starting to lose hope the team made some mods friday night, and the changed everything. I'm glad that 772 and 234 were watching saturday morning. We've worked hard the past three years, but this season, the stars really aligned. I'm extremely proud of 3259, extremely grateful for our stellar alliance partners, and pumped for St. Louis.
