Thanks everybody for the compliments! I think the reason we were passed over was because of the fact that we were severely limited for our first 4 matches due to faulty pwm cables. After we were fully functional the alliance we were on never failed to break 100 pts (except qualification match 94 in which one of our alliance partners broke down). It sucks that we can't truly show what our robot can do unless we qualify for the Minnesota State Championship (which based on my knowledge of the scoring system it is unlikely that we will make it). We were having slight difficulties with slop in our winch which limited our shot to about 30 feet. Ideally we would have been able to shoot full court to the human player without ever having to leave our corner by the 1 pt goal (a 50'+ shot which we advertised to pit scouts). If by some miracle we do qualify for the MSHSL tournament watch out for C.I.S.!

A big thanks to 967 and 2175 for picking us 2 years in a row! It was unbelievably fun working with your drive teams as we communicated better than any other team in any sport I've ever been apart of. The only smile bigger than the Iron Lions' team representative was my smile as I accepted the invitation. The past 2 years in FRC have truly changed my life and I'm looking forward to what the future holds for me as I hope to start more FRC teams around Minnesnowta.
