One question, since I wasn't there in person. How come the alliance switched you out for 2990 in Einstein? |
I wasn't told directly, but our drivers told me that the alliance leaders (148 and 1678) wanted to see how 2990 did and judge which bot was best to put on the field. It was their decision and we fully respect that.
We had some trouble with our intake. Our intake motor had a key that sheared twice in Hopper elims. It sheared when there was any considerable contact or outside force applied to our intake arm. Since our main strategy was to feed boulders to our alliance and starve the opponents (see: QF1-2 270 to 130, 24 high goals scored by our alliance), it was fully acceptable for the alliance to sub out a bot that had trouble with the main mechanism they were using. (Though, we don't know if this was a reason behind it, as nothing was said about our intake.)
No hard feelings here. 364 fully understands the situation and we are thankful that 148, 1678, and 2990 were able to make it to semis on Einstein.
