not to be bias, but our three matches in newton quarter finals were pretty intense. It was 229, 85, and us (11) (fifth alliance) against 254, 71, and a third team which i currently do not recall the number from (fourth alliance). We started off losing the first match, flipping our robot and destroying our main scoop/pressure board on our harvester. We called a time out, and as seven students calmly sat around the damage robot, working to quickly solve the problem as the adults panicked in the stands, everyone though we were out of the running for sure. Near the end of our time out, we pulled a salvaged robot onto the field and loaded 10 balls into the magazine. We started off with a flawless autonomous mode, gaining a massive lead. With full function restored through some not-so-trustworthy repair methods, our robot was harvesting right away. Cheesypoofs scored alot, but in the end, we came through with an amazing victory, although flipping our robot at the end of the match again, shattering the guard for our shooter. The tie breaker match was intense, our robot remaining in one piece, while one of the opponents separated into two. In the end, we wound up loosing the math 48 to 45, a close match that could have been tied with one shot, or won with one shot and a human player. It was a disappointment to be out of the running so soon, but we put up an amazing fight and came through very close in the end. I'll try to find a video soon.
