Re: The most unlikely robot on Einstein

Before joining this team, my brother was on it since 2011. We were alliance captains in our division that year. It was great watching it, but I never realized what it would be capable of. I joined this team in 2014. I started seeing potential, but with all of the robots we've seen so far, I never expected us to get this far.

This year, I wasn't too sure about how far we would get. Our robot was designed better than normal, but it still was like most other StuyPulse robots, it had duct tape on it, and at New York, we put zip-ties on our roller to make it work. Then we won New York. We set our sights on Einstein, but I wasn't too sure if we'd make it. We put up a huge fight, and we did.

I think what took us far is having a great team with awesome people on it, especially someone like you Jion.

This was a post that needed to be made and I'm glad you did Jion. It's not always the engineering that brings a team the furthest, it's the team itself.
