Re: 2015 Midwest Regional

4143 Mars/Wars would like to thank 2062 C.O.R.E and 2830 RoboTigers for joining our winning alliance. We formed a reliable alliance with a plan to make 4 capped six stacks and executed it. No cheesecake was needed.

It was our first ever regional win and the first time we earned a spot to the Championship since getting the rookie pass in 2012.

We also look forward to seeing our friends Cheese Curd Hurd and Argos at the Championships.

I was really hoping to see us and Pwnage form a #teamswerve or Bombsquad and us form a #teamslipring, but one blue banner reminds me that #teamNOtether was the way to go.


A couple of notes:

During the eliminations, the practice field was full of teams cheesecaking canburgulars.

During F-1, automode executed twice for at least our alliance. It cost us the robot set and nearly damaged our forks when we collided with the landfill. We won the match so we didn't make a big deal about it. I haven't seen video, so I don't know if it happened to the other side too.

During F-2, our 4th capped six stack was not counted because we were touching it. I feel we were clearly not supporting it, and it should have counted.

During F-3, we were surprised when all 4 bins were finally stolen from us. Our litter thrower made up the difference.

The FIRST API still has not spit out F-3.
The last two matches on Friday did not show up until Saturday.

Did I mention our noodle thrower was really good in the finals?
