This. Becoming a Captain is hard. In 2014, our team was never a captain, despite being one of the top 3 robots in our first two district events (the scheduling gods kinda hate us).

Your post was beautiful and brilliant, but I would add that some "next 4334's" (including 4334) attempted designs around uprighting the last row of totes (not that that was useful, as it turned out)

sorry, this is mostly just quoting people. I'm loving the conversation around this; it's a brilliant topic.
