Eh, don't worry about it, your alliance captain applogized to me on the field, it's all good.
We had a catastrophic drive train failiure in those last matches which was a contributing factor to us losing. The teeth on our high gear in one gearbox are gone. Let this be a lesson to us and everyone that has any type of plan on building a transmission like ours...USE HARDENED STEEL! We'll be back up and ready with a little work on Thursday in Canada, and hopefully this will never happen again...although we will always check the transmissions in the future before matches.
Interesting factoid: Out of our 12 matches we played, our alliances scored points in only two, and in one they actually got us negative points (10 point penalty, we lost by 5). I guess it's the luck of the draw, but we still seeded third!
Oh, and congrats to our pals, CHIEF DELPHI and teams 5 and 313. That's 2 in a row for 5! Also, big congrats to Oaktown Crewz (1188) for winning the regional Chairman's Award. If I'm not mistaken, that got you guys into nationals right there...good job!
