DirtyBird213 is on a distinguished road
Our most exciting match was match 118 Newton Field. We started match ranked 62 going against the number 2 seeded team, team Hot 67, a fellow stacker. We made two human stacks of 3, one on ground facing one way and top two turned 90 degrees to the bottom. to stop opp. from driving in and grabbing stack.
We gradually picked almost all the bins out of their zone with our robot. We had a stacker that could stack and carry up to 6, but didn't stack at all. Our driver was awesome in that he picked apart their points while they protected their 4 stack. We protected our two human stacks of three and our partners got on ramp. Had we stayed on ramp we would of had more, but we wanted to knock a stack which we missed, but still gave us enough for victory. At the end we finished with 236 QP and vaulted us up in standings from 62 to 33. What a great way to end our rounds. Unfortunately we were not selected as an alliance but we proved that we were a formidable foe. Thanks to all for a great year.
