The Naskcorpions had a blast in Utah!
First of all, major congratulations goes to 624, 1619, and 4334! You guys were an amazing alliance and deserved the win. The finalist alliance of 2122, 3230, and 3405 also put up a very good fight, so congratulations on that as well!
I also wanted to give a shoutout to our elimination alliance of 3374 and 4158. We unfortunately died in the first match, which was a huge bummer because that was the first time all weekend, and then we weren't able to rally back hard enough to advance. 4158 was great at getting up a lot of short quick stacks, and 3374 used their awesome arm to cap our stacks with the containers from the step.
We were the team grabbing 2 totes at a time from the landfill. We had some consistency issues the first day, but after adding some new alignment devices we never dropped a tote on Saturday. And I have to give a huge shoutout to our driver, he was able to get 14 totes from the landfill during our last elimination match, something I didn't think our team was capable of!
Even though we didn't make it out of the quarterfinals, this was the best year our team has ever had! I was so proud of how hard my team worked this year to build an identical practice robot, it definitely payed off big time. I can't wait to see how they do in the tears to come.
I also wanted to mention 4792, Desert Storm. While they had some programing issues early on, they worked really hard and we were able to get them up and running in no time. I loved their "seesaw" robot, and I wish you guys the best of luck in Vegas!
Utah was an amazing way to cap off my 4 years as a student in FRC. This was my favorite event that I have ever been too, and I know a big part was because of all of the great teams there. It was awesome to see just how competitive it was this year, and I'm glad I could interact with so many teams as the coach this year. Thanks to everyone for making it so great
