Re: The 2056 Streak has ended!
I knew as soon as a I saw the alliance selection results for Tesla that the #1 alliance would win and reach Einstein. While the offensive power of 2056, 1690, and 3015 certainly gave them great odds, it was 1405 that sealed the deal in my mind.
At Finger Lakes, my team (2791) faced 1405 in semifinals. In quarterfinals, our alliance with 5254 and 2383 put up 184 and 194 points, the regional's highest and second highest scores. We thought we had it in the bag. Enter 1405. Their incredible driving and defensive skill let to our defeat in two. Thanks to their talents, our alliance of three strong shooters was defeated by an alliance with only two offense-focused robots.
When I saw the alliance that had formed, I knew 1405 would help them make a deep run through the bracket. I was to and see 1405 and 3015 represent upstate New York in the Einstein finals!
