Re: 2012 Northeast Utilities Connecticut Regional

What an exciting weekend! Team 20 would like to thank our awesome alliance partners 195 and 181 for picking us. We know it was a crap shot to get picked after our sub-par performance on Friday (never using CAN again!), and we are grateful you noticed us on Saturday. Congrats to 558, 1071, and 2067. Those were great matches against you, and I got nervous when I saw you try for the triple balance.

It is unfortunate that there were so many issues with robots towards the end. We had to reboot out robot mid-match several times. We were lucky that we were able to come back up from it; others were not so lucky. 118, your robot was the most beautiful I have ever laid eyes on, and the variety of ways it could accomplish game goals was daunting. 177, 228, and 236, I wish we got to play in matches with no robot issues. I think if they allowed that, we would still be playing today!

Finally, huge thanks to 1665. Our driverstation is not a classmate (we have had problems with their durability), so we couldn't charge it on the field. After all our matches our drive coach would run back to the pit to charge it, but the battery was slowly losing its strength. Reconfiguring and lending us your driverstation was a huge help, and we ended up needing it for our final matches.
