I have to give props to all the alabama teams (except us
). they all made it into the finals.
lee high school (442) did very well considering their condition at the pre-comp. they really pulled it together and did very very well.
538 (the dragon slayers) did an amazing job all-around. nice bot, nice site, and obviously nice chairman's award. (not to mention all the raether attractive girls they had!
)
547 was one of the most thrilling teams in st. louis. knocking down all 29 boxes over and over was probably one of the most entertaining things i've seen. even though they didn't seed first, i hope they do well at nat's and i hope we can see them there.
all in all, good job everyone
other teams i'd like to note on are 1020 and 967.
1020 (if they would've been able to perform the whole time) probably could've seeded very high. they could've easily taken the ramp. even though they didn't function, they kept working on their bot until it did. very nice job and i hope to see you at a later comp.
967 was one the most amazing bots i've ever seen. their powerful drivetrain and sleek design added to the great team dynamics they had. that was one of the prettiest bots in st. louis...nice job
the übergeeks and i hope to see you all in houston (we aren't competing, but we'll be there helping everyone all we can)
