Re: Mythical Six Week Build Season
5254 had an incredibly successful season last year for a second year team, despite not having a practice robot. 2 Regional Finalists and quarterfinals in Carson is nothing to scoff at.
But do you know what the difference between the medals 5254 won and the banners they COULD have won? The ability to access the robot between competitions.
5254 lost in Finger Lakes finals due to 2 dropped cans. One of the features they were unable to implement between regionals (that they implemented for championships) is a can stabilizer.
5254 is a small, low resource team that is fundraising like crazy right now so that we can have a practice robot for the 2016 season. Because we don't want to lose like that again.
