Congratulations on making it to NE Champs! You guys built a fantastic robot this year, and our whole team was surprised when we got you with the 7th pick this weekend.
On the topic of this thread:
Given our team's history, any season that doesn't end with confetti on our robot can sometimes feel like a bit of a letdown. But I couldn't be prouder of the hard work our students put in this year, especially in the weeks between our two District events. At Pioneer Valley, we ranked 2nd to last and were not picked for the playoffs. At Hartford this weekend, we ranked 12th and led the #7 alliance to the semifinals, with an average just 7 points away from making it to the finals. Even though the end result wasn't enough to keep our season going, making such a dramatic improvement in just three weeks is a victory in my book.
