We received tons of support from our own teammates in our finals Alliance (3490 and 1539) and also from the opposing Alliance of the match (11, 245 and 2187) who offered their Alliance time out and all the mechanical support they could provide if we needed it. So after the tweaks, we were able to successfully climb to hang for a 30 pointer in our second elimination match. We didn't win but our robot is now at 100% and ready to go to the Orlando Regional.

Thank You for everyone's concerns!!! And thank you to all the teams that reached out to us in our first FIRST competition as rookies today.
That was absolutely gut wrenching to see. Was relieved to see you guys come back in the following match. Congrats on getting the Rookie All-Star award!
