First off, I'd like to thank all the nice comments about our bot. We worked our butts off just like everyone else and our eginneers are some of the greatest people in the world, not only to work with, but just to hang around. I do, however, agree with JGreenwd1 in saying that our bot did not perform at maximum performance. Our practice rounds were great, but as soon as Qualification rounds game about, our bot was suffering from electrical problems. Our robot was for some reason completely shutting down at times, rendering it motionless. This problem was found to be a faulty fuse which was finally replaced. Also our human shooter, who was just phenomenal at regionals was also off, however we were also up against some extremely buff bots.

As for the best robots, Wildstang is just crazy fast, even with two goals, Beatty is unstoppable, but only on the right conditions. 308 has some of the most beefy pneumatics i've ever seen, as does Kingman who is even more manuverable. And RAGE, congratz on being the winning ball bot!

However, I don't agree with the SPAM bot. I'm probably extremely biased because this is the reason we lost, I don't agree with the plastic wedge on thier bot used to lift robots off the ground. It's not battle bots. However in the rules it does state you can move robots into your home zone, however they really weren't shoving Wildstang twords thier home zone, but once again, i'm extremely biased. All of the bots at Nationals should give themselves a huge round of applause just for being there. Everyone worked just as hard and just as long as we did, so I think every bot there was the best bots.
