[who716]

Back in 2012 during rebound rumble, team 716 went undefeated at the granite state regional all through qualifying, the only team to be undefeated when qualifying ended. but yet we were rank number three, due to the coop points. we decided prior to that competition that we are going to go for the win in qualifying, making us go for the colored bridge every match and RELY on our partners to get the coop points. I seriously believe that if we were rank one like we were suppose to be we would have walked away with a blue banner for that competition. I seriously hated how they did the coop bridge that year.
2013 for ultimate accent there was no way to gain and advantage for helping your teammate or the other team. and one robot could win the whole competition on there own(the full court shooter for example) If you weren't a full court shooter this was deffinelty frustrating to play against. But the game in general was decent,

On to this year, what a year and a game it defiantly has its up and downs but I kinda like it. 2014 is my senior year, and our team hasn't won a Blue banner since 08. so of course being the driver I deffinelty want to brink one home. when the game was first revealed im going to be honest I put my head in my hands and said "dang what a game to end the my career as a student on" but after we got the robot built and got to drive it around I realized that dang we got a robot that can do everything in the game fairly good, so going into WPI our first event it was deffinelty a start to a good season as we ended Quals 10-2 number one seed, the two loses we got one was with not the greatest partners and the second our joysticks got messed up which through our alliance off our game as we were the scoring robot. then in elims we were so close to taking the competition literally. made me excited for our second event.

when we got to Hartford it didn't quite go as planned we got stuck with partners that weren't that great, and 50 points fouls cost us two wins, and the shear brutality of the game had us breaking wheels every 3-4 matches (hopefully we fixed that for Boston) we ended ranked 7- pushed up to 5th.

Overall tis game really suites my driving style. fast and technical. We built a great robot and has been having a decent season.

Basically what im saying is the assisting in this game is good when it works great, and annoying when something goes wrong but life is just like that. Luck is a huge part of first and more so this year but that is also similar to life you need luck. The way I see it this game is better then the previous years because it really levels to playing field to almost out smart the large teams. no coop points to mess with the ranking, and im quite happy that my senior year is this year instead of last year :-)
