571's year:
NJ: We learned a lot at this competition and realized that we had tried to do too much with our robot by hanging. So we lost the hook and concentrated on ball-gathering and capping, which worked very well for us, although we finished in 42nd with a 2-6 record...However 181 picked us (4th pick in 1st round!)and we then lost in the quarterfinals [edit]may have been semifinals, come to think of it[/edit].
UTC New England: Despite losing our first match we then won 7 more before losing our last qualification. As second seed we allied with 716 and 230 and went straight through the eliminations without a loss! (I wish I had driven for these matches
)
Nationals: Undefeated in qualifications and some very exciting matches, but we ended up seed fourth. We lost in the Semis to 716 and their allies, but it was a great experience for all and a great way for our drive team (all four of them) to finish off their careers.
