Now, as for Elliminations.....
I can barely express our gratitude to 4488 Shockwave for seeing in us the potential we have. They masterfully used all four alliance partners to execute 7 match strategies that were a thing of beauty. Trust me when I say, upsetting 254-973 and then going toe to toe with Giants like 971, 1678 and 604 and coming as close as we did is the highlight of my time in FIRST. Let's just say, today I have no voice.
I also want to point out, if it were not for the help of our friends on 1678, we would not have been able to compete in the Finals match. We literally had our robot on it's side in the front of their pit at the beginning of Finals 1. With their help, we completely removed one of our drive transmissions and rebuilt it due to a stripped 2nd stage pinion. It was reassembled and ready to play in Finals 2, where we faced 1678. Tell me, where do you see that kind of behavior except in FIRST?
I would be negligent if I didn't tip my hat to 3250, Kennedy Robotics. You guys absolutely KILLED it the entire tournament! It was an honor to stand shoulder to shoulder with you facing Giants!
And as always, 1868 was another class act! It was a pleasure playing along side you again! We look forward to competing with you in 2017!
Congratulations to 971, 1678, 604, and 2135 on winning Chezy Champs!
