The biggest shame though is that the #1 seed and regional winner team 157 can't go to nationals. It simply comes down to a matter of money. Their machine could shoot one ball after another in quick succession with almost 100% accuracy. Well good luck to everyone and see you at nationals.
it wasn't money it was odd teams could not go unless they earn a spot.

They choose to do 3 regional because of this year rules. which is a shame. the best robots will not be at the nationals.

They would of love to make plans to go to the nationals 5 months ago but not now with only a month to go. It takes a lot of planning to go to the nationals. Living in New England it is not just a short road trip to FL.

So for the robot that wins the national they have to know there are better robots out there that they did not compete against.
