I wish to congratulate 2056, 4001 and 2200 on their GTRW win and in turn 3161, 1114 and 2634 for their efforts as finalists. I wish to congratulate 1241 for their RCA. Well done.
I do not want to speak for our alliance captain but I believe 1241 was pursuing the same strategy of a triple balance. 907 and 771 are wide bots.

We were able to drive to block the opposing alliance (not in their lane) from getting onto the bridge WHILE not touching it, therefore no penalty/DQ.
2) In semi's matches 2 & 3, we had connection problems. I do not know the reasoning behind what caused the issue/what the exact issue was, but there was a problem.
3) Team 1114's robot "dying" in the 2nd Finals match occurred at the start of the Tele-Operated period, they were at the same alliance station as Team 1241 was at for Semi's match 3 against 2056.
I would like to thank & congratulate Teams 2056, 4001 and 2200 on their Regional Victory.
Teams 3161, 1114 and 2643 for putting on the most amazing Finals that I have seen since I began in FIRST in '07. It was truly a weekend I (and many others on my team) will never forget!
& Lastly congratulations to Team 1305 on their Engineering Inspiration award and to 907 and 771 for being our amazing alliance partners!  |
The comm problem Kaushal.K describes caused their bot to careen into us in SF1-2. In the collision, one of our PWMs came loose at the sidecar causing a failure on our ball sensors. We didn't catch it between matches, we had little time between match 2 and 3. We had limited ball intake capability in SF1-3. We designed wide knowing it would come down to triple balancing in the end.
Best of luck to 1241, 2056, 4001 and 2200 and 1305 in St. Louis. We will celebrate from afar.
Go Canada!
