Re: What went right?
Our team loved that the gameplay required closer cooperation with the other teams. As mentioned before, the practice field at the PNW Regional was larger than past years. This allowed us and other teams to practice with each other. It was helpful in giving our driver the confidence to get up some of the narrower ramps.
The Gracious Professionalism showed by the teams at the Regional. Team 1318 gave us pointers on autonomous strategy and Team 1280 provided us with Anderson connectors to repair our backup battery connection. We played against Team 1280 in every match and they were still willing to help us.
On a more personal note: Our team had a great season! We were able to use pneumatics, learned how to create several new mechanisms, got the camera to work at home, and have students that want to stay involved in robotics year round.
