It was a nasty fall; getting the robot driving was an achievement in itself IMHO.
Thans for the shoutout! That was truly a brutal fall and absolutely horrific to watch your robot take a peter pan off the top of that pyramid. With that said, it was the greatest showing of GP I've witnessed in my 6 years as a mentor. We were flooded with support from a ton of teams and it was truly humbling. Thanks again to all those awesome teams at Crossroads last year. We were hoping to make a return trip, but scheduling didn't allow it unfortunately. For those wanting to see the carnage, here is the video of the match.
