Re: Great Lakes Regional!

Thanks for the congrats guys, I can hardly believe it either. I had the amazing luck to win the first FIRST regional I've ever been to, and hearing some of the stories from previous years I am incredibly grateful. As those guys ^^ said, that last match was insane. 308 pushing everyone around, the side goal changing ownership a good 5 times, and us in the corner stacking tetra after tetra on the home row. I must give many thanks to our alliance partners whose excellent robots and strategery allowed us to triumph over a very worthy adversary.

We also had incredible luck with our robot (or it was just well-built); we had zero major problems, just some minor things. Of course, it was enough minor things to prevent the programmmers from getting autonomous to work properly ("we've got 2 hours here to code"; ... ; "okay, we're done fixing everything, go ahead and start coding, you've got 2 hours"; "um, that was an hour and 40 minutes ago.").
