I have to give credit to 111. It was an amazing machine.
But no one here has given credit to the reason they won.
Team 469(Las Guerillas) while not a technically best bot. They were the stronger robot. They had the most consistent fast autonomous mode out of everyone. In all three days I failed to see the miss and not be the first to the ramp. Their drivers were great and the team knew how to play the game. The were excellent at getting the extra 25 points. Their robot was designed strong and fast enough to do great in any match. They also achieve the highest score I know of with 302 QP's while working with my team. They were our first choice out of archimedes if we would have had the chance.
We discovered luck does play a part in the game. While being number one seed going in our final match we tipped over for the first time this season. And was dropped to fifth seed. We then lost our first quarterfinal 68-69. Oh well, we had a great time as rookie and will be back next year.
We want to congratulate the ARCHIMEDES champions and world champion teams 111, 469 and 65. By winning, you made us feel so much better about being so close.
