Its a very old song written by Johnny Horton called " The Battle of New Orleans" (look up the song and play it and you older folks will remember it. I'm calling it " The Ballad of 1610" because parts of my lyrics are actually partly true.
"The Ballad of 1610"

In 2014 we took a long long trip
Out to St. Louis on the mighty Mississip
We took a little robot and we took our little team
We're in First Robotics that was started by a man named Dean

We unpacked our robot and it began a running
We didn't have much time as there was a while ago
We played some matches as the clock kept a running
On the Mississippi where the robots all go

We looked down the field and see the other alliance go
And all three then began a firing in a row
They ran up the score so high you could hear the goals ring
We stood by our drivers station and didn't say a thing

Our old coach said we could take em by surprise
If we didn't fire our robots til we looked them in the eyes
We held our fire til we saw their faces well
Then we shot at our goals and really gave them..he....well...

Yeah we wore out their wheels and broke a few frames
We drove thru goals where a robot shouldn't go
They ran so fast that human players couldn't catch em
On the Mississippi is where First robots all go

We fired our robot til the C-Rio melted down
so we grabbed another and played another round
We filled our robots with our alliance balls now we're not behind
And we ran our controls til the robots lost their minds

Yeah we wore out their wheels and broke a few frames
We drove thru goals where a robot shouldn't go
They ran so fast that human players couldn't catch em
On the Mississippi is where First robots go
