Re: Team 1717 retires
I'll definitely be missing 1717. D'Penguineers inspired a lot of people, myself included.
I remember attending Champs for the first time in 2012, and waiting for the practice field. We were right behind 1717 in queue, which meant we got to watch them practice. I'm pretty sure they made somewhere around a hundred shots in a row from a variety of positions-- meanwhile, my team was struggling to stay about 75% in autonomous. Watching that robot more than anything at Champs that year opened my eyes to what an FRC robot could be.
