Thanks Collin. Arizona was great. Competing with Team 234 again this year was very exciting, especially as we were trying to win a birth at Atlanta. We didn't pull it off in Arizona, but, with a little luck, won in S. California.

Yes, but then we were competing against some great robots:177, 27 and 365.

Thanks. We of course wish that we hadn't hit both 10 pt. balls in that match. However, for pure excitement, that quarter finals was quite something: 1 robot hanging for each alliance and 1 capped goal for each alliance in both of the matches. Thanks again to our partners, Team 236 and Team 971. We would love to replay those matches. So close...


Hope to see you all (partners and opponents) in Atlanta again next year. And if we can pull off going to IRI again this year, we'll see some of you there.
