Re: Pure Shooters -- 2006 Hall of Fame

I was team 418’s (LASA) driver at the Lone Star Regional Competition. We were allied with 231 and 1421; as an alliance, we decided I would do my best to keep 118 from scoring. Their shooter was amazing. The only time I did not see them score at least 9 balls during autonomous was when our robot pushed theirs so much their camera could not find the light.
During all three finals matches, I refused to let them do what they wanted. It was only because of this that they did not score ball after ball.
Also, 231 were an excellent team to have in our alliance, they reliably scored for us throughout the day. I was too consumed in stopping 118 to see exactly how many they scored, but I know it was enough to come back after 118 scored 10 balls during autonomous in the second game of the finals.
Finally, I would like to thank 231 for their excellent shooting and 1421 for their reliable autonomous, awesome defense and reliable lower scoring.
In addition, 118, I am deeply sorry for tipping your robot over in the final game; it was simply too effective for me to leave alone.
