This was one of the best experiences for FIRST people I have seen thus far. Many teams tried to come to the rescue of 909. I discussed with some of the team members options for this regional (rebuilding, begging parts, lending student help, etc.). By the time any of us knew what was happening, their original bot was in pieces. Many of us had spare robots or parts thereof to lend but Technokats had the best alternative solution. I am proud to know the members of such a fine team. Way to go Technokats!
BTW, Andy, on that match on Saturday morning when the balls almost popped out, I saw a couple of feet of chain come out the bottom of the robot. I hope it didn't get too hurt. Forgot to mention it yesterday. Congratulations, as well!

"after that drill slipped and went into my thumb " DJ, I hate when that happens.
