Re: New York Tech Valley Regional
Great event!
We obviously didn't do as well as we'd have liked to--a faulty PDP followed by a faulty PCM didn't help things any, and we literally ground our (WCP aluminum) drive gears round (and aren't sure how/why that happened). Without time to replace them, we hoped they'd last the tournament; alas, had they survived another twenty feet I think we'd have been semifinalists, but we backed through the Sally Port and then...spinning motors, no impulse.
Thanks to 48 and 1493 for a hard-fighting alliance, and to 229 for some hex shaft afterward so we could keep things tidy as we yanked our gearboxes off in preparation for this week.
