MamaSpoldi, the pleasure was all ours to be allied with 230! The GaelHawks were fantastic to work with; great attitudes from everybody that we met on the team! We'd be honored to be allied with 230 again!

You're running out of unique partners.
Thanks for updating our list with our newest pair of alliance partners! It's kind of amazing we hadn't previously been with the CyberKnights or Apple Pi.

We'd love to be with a new pair of partners this weekend in St. Louis! (Repeats would be fine, though, too!)

You would have to remind us about that. Our claw broke during autonomous when going back to pick up the 2nd ball - one more auto ball would have been enough.

However, our better robot this year is a direct result of our "finalist year" last year. I think last year's robot was actually one of our better ones, but we never won an event with it, even in the off-season. I think we had a total of 4 finalist awards with it.

As a result of wanting to do better, the students were highly motivated this year to build a more reliable robot! In some ways, coming in 2nd is more motivational than winning!
