However, we had a bunch of problems with our chains, and then faulty code in the elimination rounds that didn't allow operator control. We shot accross the field in autonomous mode, but then couldn't move for all of the operator time. By the time we got it fixed (After quarter finals), 1902 decided to use their replacement robot for us. No hard feelings though, we still had a great time. I just wish we had the chance to show our stuff...
So that's what happened to y'all. I was wondering. It seemed like a lot of people were having chain issues this year. I know we popped a chain almost every match until the quarter finals, then we fixed it. Aww... I was sad when y'all weren't out there because I wanted to see that.
