While we may not have been the best alliance partner for 2056 and given the state of our shooter and robot at that stage of GTRW, we would've played a similar role to that of ours at 2011 Curie Division eliminations last year. However, it would've been hard to coordinate and execute a triple balance with two long bots and a wide.

This is why these teams declined (I think), if they were working like how they worked at buckeye (nice shooting), i think both teams would have accepted.

Yes, those issues were becoming quite clear in the GTRW eliminations and unfortunately we were unable to perform a 100%.

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.

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!

Thanks Mr. P for the clarification and congrats. We had an amazing time partnering with 907. Your robot was a definite stand-out amongst the scorers this year. By further picking 771, we had an intention of triple balancing but had a doubt of accomplishing so, due to the lack of practice we had together.

We hope to improve and perform up to par or even better than some of the top Canadian bots who are unable to attend Championships this year.
