Buckeye rules Newton (1126, 67, 340)
I can't say how amazing it was to be paired up with our Buckeye winning alliance again for the eliminations in Newton.

Here's how it went down -
Buckeye - Team 340 7-0 - #1 seed. Selected 67 (#7 seed) and 1126 (#12) seed.

Newton - Team 1126 7-0 - #1 seed. Selected 67 (#5 seed) and 340 (#35)

We figured with such a star studded line up of teams in the division, the 1126, 67 alliance was our only chance at making the eliminations. I was really hoping they wouldn't pick us purely for sentimental reasons.

I'm so proud of our students for maintaining their cool and pulling some awesome driving out. And for building a robot that could lift 322 curled up, with all of their weight on our winch shaft.

Cheering for the same alliance again made it so much sweeter. I am anxiously awaiting the article in the paper tomorrow (340 and 1126 are both Rochester, NY teams). Thanks again to 1126 and 67 for their continued faith in us. Hope to see you at the Finger Lakes Regional next year!
