Re: Hub City Regional 2016

I'd like to echo what the previous posters said -- congrats to all the award winners! It was fantastic to meet and play with so many great teams that we aspire to be like.

Our team has rebooted as "Team Rocket" this year after a history of being a one-event/six-week team, and are shaking things up with the program to kick-start some major improvements. It was soul-crushing to flip our robot in our last two matches and kill our playoff chances after doing so well on the first day and in practice. So, we've still never been to the playoffs at a Regional, but there is always next year. Hopefully we can add a 2nd regional to our schedule next year, because we could have fixed the flipping problem pretty easily if we knew it was coming (we never flipped in 100+ crossing of the ramparts before -- it saved that surprise for actual competition -- maybe something to do with steel versus wooden defenses + tire pressure).

We plan to attend 2-3 offseason events in Texas and maybe Kansas City this year, so if anyone has any recommendations and tentative dates, we'd love to hear about them so we can get them on the calendar.

Thank you so much for posting the video! Do you happen to have any video from practice matches? We have some still pics of our robot flying through the air but no video of the better ones that happened on practice day.

Thanks!
