Re: 900's Championship Cheesecaking Chronicles
Marshal, Austin and the rest of the Zebracorns,
Thanks so much for the post and explaining to the community the effort your team put into your original robot as well as the insanity you went through at Championships to build a second legal competition robot. My team competed with you in Palmetto and North Carolina and we know the struggles you went through with your robot and have a good idea of how many design iterations you went through at those events to get that awesome grabber working that way you wanted. Though we certainly would have preferred to come out on top in the NC Finals, we have no complaints to coming in second to three teams with such class and respect for FIRST's core values.
My team was disappointed to not be selected to play on the Newton stage at Championships this year. After a quick check we saw that the Zebracorns were the only one of eight NC teams continuing to play. We made sure that each of those teams knew that you were one the #1 Curie alliance and were collaborating on an awesome 'secret' project. ALL the NC teams were ready to cheer on the Zebracorns when you got to the field. We just wish you had the chance to put all your hard work into action on Einstein.
Great job. Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes story. (You know I was going to ask the next time we met!)
