[Kevin Sevcik]

Hey all,

So I was the coach for 57, and I'd like to clear a few things up. I did feel that 1255's defense was a bit rough at times, but they were called for it, so that's been and done. To any interested, the fall actually broke a welded seam on our tower. Luckily, we've gotten it rewelded and that system will still be 100% for the Championships.

The second round, there was a miscommunication on the team and our automode was set to straight forward instead of nothing. I don't believe we managed to get out of the goal, as we got high-centered on the base of our tower.

Finally, our arm was giving us problems before that. We'd managed to break a retaining plate earlier in the regional, and that was giving us some problems. The fall exacerbated the problems and our globe motor gave out to boot, so we ended up planning on being an all defensive bot in the last match.

Thanks to 364 and 660 for allying with us. Y'all were great and we're sorry to let ya down. We'll be looking for ya at Champs and next year's Lone Star.
