My name is Stephanie and I am the head mentor for 1422. I would just like to add that today was one of the most memorable days for my team. We had the highest score for the regional (123 points, baby! Match 17), and we set our robot on fire AND fixed it in 15 minutes AND didn't miss a match. What could be better? I'm really proud of the group of kids and mentors we have this year. I would especially like to thank our local friends, FRC Team 1671, the Buchanan Bird Brains; they really helped us out by letting us borrow their spike. We would also like to thank the inspectors who helped us deduce that the issue was a fluke with the spike and not anything wrong with our robot / wiring (Thank God), and the field personnel who had the clarity of thought to not douse our robot with the fire extinguisher so as to minimize damage to the rest of the bot (of which there was none). These people are all the reason we love FIRST, so thank you to all that helped.
Here's a snap shot of the spike. We plan on getting it framed.
