All I can say is that 292 is the story of the year for Midwest FIRST teams.
They performed consistently at Buckeye and get overlooked for the finals.
They seed #1 in GLR and get knocked out in the semis.
They seed #1 at MR, pick their well-celebrated crosstown friends (team 45) and team 245, put both of them on their backs and carry them through the finals.
Don't get me wrong, teams 45 and 245 did well (as I saw as 45's coach), but here are the facts: 292 played 6 matches, 45 played 3 matches, 245 played 3 matches. 292 drove well, strategized well, and made the right decisions.
292 did in the finals what they did in the Q matches, they had the most reliable automode with the most reliable robot. No wonder they also won the Quality Award. Speaking of reliability, their pit crew were playing cards with our TechnoKat cards in their pit on Friday... sheesh!
Kudos to all on 292, you greatly deserve this. The rest of you better watch out, they just qualified for Championships.
