Really? The following was called a tech foul against us (blue bot playing offense) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rvUzolCZ-8. We're not the one using our arm as a defensive spear.

Please do continue to rip out wires, pop bearings out of sockets, and bend forks with reckless impunity, n'er do wells of FRC - referees won't mind! They might even blame us for your idiocy!



If only that were true.



Frequent visitors. The answer to that question is often "Poorly".



Tried. Thinking we do a good job since we've had exactly 2 fouls called on us across three regionals. I don't count the "tech foul" called above.



Nope. Still waiting for that "pure" competition experience. I'd like to think we'd get that at the CMP, but then, we didn't qualify. Seems some extra roadblocks tossed in our way detoured us off the path to that desired goal. Would we have reached the finish line without those in the way? Not sure, BUT I SURE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO FIND OUT.

The waitlist remains our last best hope for the season, but I remain unoptimistic in that regard.
QFT!
