wow.
such a great competition.

thanks to team 341 for running a great competition, with no problems whatsoever. great job guys. and thanks for giving 1712 a robot to play with. i love the comraderie.

and thank you to 484, 1676, and 365 for being terrific alliance partners. didnt make one mistake out there. you guys were amazing.

Just a quick recap of the elims for us, the #5 seed.

first round versus #4 seed, 316, 1143, and 341 was a sweep in pretty intense matches. they sure put up a swell fight.

second round versus #1 seed, 173, 272(had been the 2nd seed), 716 was another sweep in two great matches. in the first match, 173 was going up for a cap on a side goal, and we tapped them onto the goal, and left them stuck. sorry guys, had to exploit the hole. second match was clean and just well played.

final round versus #3 seed, 222, 103, 99(103's backup robot), and 303. first match was very close. in the final 5 seconds we put a cap onto the corner goal of the field, while 222 was defending, which killed their row, and gave us another, giving us a clear 20 point win. second match was great. 303 came in for 99. it was just great. very close match, but ultimately, we outcapped them 13-9 and gave ourselves a clear victory.

6-0 through eliminations. not to brag, but the alliance we had made no mistakes, and capitalized on every fault another alliance made.

and a special congrats to team 1712, i love to see prerookies out there.

Thanks to all, was a fantastic day.

P.S. High Score of the day was 25, 484, and 272 versus 303, 365, 225. 101-28
