Congrats to 1635, 522, and 125 on the win. Those triple balances were incredible, and the atmosphere was electric as you guys attempted and completed it for the first time
It was awesome that you were able to accomplish it time after time with such ease as well.
Elimination matches in general were really quite entertaining. Lots of scoring in hybrid and always a flurry of activity at the bridges - congrats to all teams really, this regional was great.
Still, I was a little disappointed to see my team come from CA and have comms issues in every match
We tried various fixes, and had several other teams, mentors, and volunteers graciously take a look at our code/electronics to see if anything stuck out, but in the end, we still couldn't figure out what happened. Our symptoms sound similar to those experienced by several teams at other regionals (based on the Bayou thread), but it's hard to tell if the underlying cause is the same. (Also, apologies to 694 and 3059 for not living up to our/your expectations in QFs; if we had comms for the entirety of our match, I think our alliance would've had the chance to pull off something special).
All in all, thanks to NYC for being so welcoming. The team had a great time (especially since we got Dean Kamen to sign our robot/shirts/etc
), and we're looking forward to competing hard at SVR in a couple weeks!
