Just because we weren't making two balls in auto doesn't mean our auto wasn't valuable. We spent weeks making sure that no matter what we would make our first shot in the goal and get the auto crossing points. We found it more important than trying to shoot two and miss both balls. Additionally just because we were a fourth robot on the first alliance does not mean we couldnt have provided just as much help and support to an alliance as a second or third bot on a lower alliance. In a match we would get at least 20 points in auto and shoot as many as 8 balls into the high goal in addition to never missing a park on the batter. We as the 4th robot contributed during the match to the strategy by counting balls behind the opposing alliance driver station to know when some had to be bowled out. We also sat ready to go in if one of our alliance partners broke down, Which in this game could have happened at any moment due to how hard this year was on the robots. Play it down as much as you want but we feel just as important to the number one IRI alliance as the other three were.

Don't let them get to you. You guys had an amazing robot this year and it was one of my personal favorites. Enjoy your IRI win and I wish you guys the best of luck in the future.
