Just want to say this:
Pitt was a great regional.
-and-
Defense is where it's at! I was told by 395's captain that when they saw how well we were doing just scoring twice in the corners and then playing defense, that they decided to turn off thier shooter and try the same thing. Their alliance (#1 seed) beat ours (#2 seed) in the third match of the finals 52-10 (or something to that effect). I just want to point out that we were pushing most everyone sideways, and even against 395 could move them a little if we were in low gear. Seeing as how we beat them in the last qualifying match, I think that it would have been an incredible final round if our bot hadn't lost a chain. But, its done and I am glad for 395, 1743, and 1038 and their regional title. We recieved the GM Industrial Design award for our robot, I/we are very proud of that one. I just want to thank the winners for a great match and that incredible show of GP, and our alliance partners 1629 and 1370 for keeping our alliance going when our bot wasn't working right.

Thanks again to all and keep up the good work!
