We had 4 different 5 disk autos that we spend insane amounts of time getting just right, and if I recall correctly we did have a 7 disk but is wasn't worth using.

This started an Einstein appearance streak that stands to this day, 3 seasons later. In 2014, they won IE and SAC, were finalists at SVR, and were alliance captains on Newton, going all the way to Einstein finals. We know what happened last year: wins at CVR, SAC, and SVR, 1st pick of the 1st seeded alliance on Newton, and winning the FIRST championship. This year was no different in terms of incredible performance, with a record of 59-4-2. That encompassed regional wins at CVR, SAC, SVR, winning Hopper, and Einstein semifinalists. They are truly on top of the FRC world. The most amazing part is they are incredibly open and want to help as many teams as they can achieve the levels of success they can. I encourage anyone reading this to ask them about how they do what they do, I guarantee they would love to tell you.
Fixed error, Alliance captain was 118.

And to think our 2013 and 2014 robots were machined and built in a 20 ft shipping container and a portable math classroom. I really miss being able to say that. I do not however miss the Quarterfinal Curse.
