First, I want to thank the guys at the Naval Academy, it was awesome.
As for the compliments, thanks so much, its nice that after six weeks of being completely in the dark on how your stacking robot is going to work in a real competition to actually see it go out there and put one bin on top of another, and to get recognized for it just tops it off. Thanks so much
As for our accomplishments, our stacking abilities have been something that was greatly recognized as our team's accomplishment, but I'd have to give some shout outs to other sub-teams accomplishments. First and foremost our autonomous team really pulled it off for us. Our program ran smoothly and got us up there which gave us the chance to get over and stack some boxes and have a good base score. Our wing team (B^4 for those fellow moe guys and girls) did an outstanding job at keeping those fiberglass rods up and operational after the matches, and really putting in a good design that kept us through our goals.
Our competition team did an awesome job at keeping their cool through the rounds, no matter how bad it looked and coming through for the team in the second match. The pit crew was awesome, and beings our robot had never been out there with other robots before, was able to think on their toes and find solutions for kinks in our plans. Thanks to the engineers and adults on the team, you guys gave us support that helped us all the way through and we pulled off something that didn't look as though it could happen.
Thanks to our partners throughout the rounds, you guys kept us alive when it didn't look like we would make it. Delphi Demons and Big Mo are awesome, you guys rock and we couldn't have done it without you.
Alright, I'm falling asleep here, I'm gonna continue this post tomorrow, cause I can't remember the ride home, and supposedly I drove
