Congrats to 1635, 125, and 522 for providing by far the most amazing set of elimination matches yet!!!!
Your methods proved successful with your partners on the seventh alliance by eliminating the second, third, and fourth alliances
on your way to capturing your third ny regional win!
But probably most importantly is that you showed all the teams competing there, all 11 rookies and 54 veterans (not including yourselves
), that you didn't have to build a superstar robot that looks like it could compete in the NBA to succeed.
Over 99% of teams built a robot for mainly either offense or defense.
I'm glad you guys decided to be the exception.
It is truly refreshing to see an alliance win, not because of it's superstar captain's abilities (but credit is still appreciated
), but by a relatively simple robot that really any team could've built by themselves, without the need for some crazy sponsor or factory/warehouse of workers. Credit has to be given to the captain though, for recognizing the ability this team had managed to pack into their little robot
I look forward to seeing how you guys do at St. Louis!
