My favorite 3419 memory from this season would definitely have to be upsetting alliance 3 as alliance 6 on Carver this year.

I think alliance 3 were definitely the favorites going into Carver eliminations (it's hard to top a combination of Team RUSH, Simbotics, and The Rocketeers, and they also had a very well-built and well-driven substitute in Team 5924 The Cat Machine) but our alliance managed to hold out over 2 matches. Our robot didn't have a blocker and our driver had literally never played defense before, but we knew we couldn't keep up with them offensively so it was pretty much our only option. And it worked!

Of course, immediately after that, we were thoroughly trounced in the semifinals by the eventual champions, but the glory was fantastic while it lasted .
