As a rookie team attending the Wisconsin/Milwaukee Regional, 4531 had a lot of great moments. Besides getting overly excited anytime the announcers mentioned us and winning Rookie All-Star, my favorite moment was a match where we were allied with 2077 and 1091.

In queue, we noticed that none of us had working shooters, except for one team that could score 6 points in autonomous, and that we were matched against teams that had been pretty high-scoring. We quickly realized that two of our robots had 10 point hangs and one had a 20. There was a possibility that if all three robots/drive teams managed to play good defense, we'd have a slim shot at winning. Before the robots were placed on the field, each drive team member and media person put their hands in and shouted "1, 2, 3... Blue Alliance!"



Our alliance came out victorious by 3 points, but I love this moment because of the collaboration between the drive teams and the intense "we can do this" feeling.
