You are correct. We mangled the gear box on the right side of our drivetrain during the first match of the championship round. We played every match of the eliminations up until that point and I think it took its toll on our machine. A gear on the first reduction stage slipped down the shaft which caused us to lose some tooth engagement. That basically mangled all of the teeth in that set of gears. They didn't even look like gears when we got the robot off the field.
For me, there were too many great robots to name them all. I still say the best is 469.
I must give a lot of credit to our partners, 311 and 180. Those were two incredible machines and teams. I hope we get to play together in the future. And by the way, I thought 180's wedge was awesome!
