Be careful about your setup times, folks.

We certainly tried our darnedest. That first match we had it in a minute and thirty seconds, that with the help of our alliance members, who were wonderful about it. The second match we didn't have time to set it up properly in our pits and everything seemed to fall apart once we got it on the field. It was a bit disappointing to see all our hard work fail at the moment when it counted though; it would have been nice to see it work at least once, it was a really cool system and it may have taken away a bit of the stress associated with our setup and take down.
We certainly learned a lot from this design though. We had to get incredibly creative to keep our weight down. We also learned to maybe not do something so ridiculously complex with so many points where something could go wrong; we tried to do everything like we always do and it rarely works out well for us. I doubt it will change though, we have a rich history of hubris.
That said, sorry to the refs and everyone for consistently delaying matches, we did our best but it wasn't quite enough.
Also congats to all the other teams, you put on an amazing regional, the matches were certainly exciting to watch.
