Our team 1493 did the best we have ever done, so that was a nice accomplishment. We didn't meet our goal which was to be selected for the "tourney" (what ever it is called slips my mind this second) Thought that we most certainly were going to be selected. After making many changes to our bot by the last day we were very strong. Our defense was very good, with our low COG we were able to push almost any bot back, we could make it up the ramp with ease, and were good for an easy 10 pts in autonomous whenever we wanted. (Except the time they forgot to close the side doors all the way which caused us to get stuck.)
Once again thank everyone and good luck in nationals

Our scouting had your robot ahead of the four robots that were picked after team 1124. You did yourselves proud during the qualification rounds.
A word of caution to teams picking alliances: At BAE we were picked before a better robot (team 133 BERT) and that alliance defeated us in the finals. In Hartford I think that 1124 was the best third robot, and our alliance eventually won. Choose the third robot very carefully.
