I will pass the shout out along.
About 174, I don't know if anyone really knows the troubles we had this season, but let me just say that with the work the students put in to making the robot work and be as competitive as possible was beyond
ANY other year in our history. There hasn't been a group of students like this for us ever and even though we hadn't had any of the kind of success we had last year I would say we discovered more about ourselves and our team.
Team 174 extends a congratulations to 639, 2252 and 2834, to team 2016 and 1629. You were all amazing teams to watch and we wish you all good luck for the rest of the year.
I wasn't at the event, so I have no comment about how the competition was run. What I will say is that if there was a problem, teams should contact the planning committee for Buckeye, rather than only rant about it on CD - otherwise nothing might be changed.
(on a side note, I picked 639 to win FLR in my Pickem show. I guess I get half credit for you guys winning a different regional?
