Greetings from the Robo-Lions. We thought the robot was going to be OK but it proved to be a lot more sturdy and reliable than we knew.
Our drive team (Nick^2) were both Freshmen and just kept getting better as the competition wore on.
Even though many thought we made some strange picks for the 8th seed it turned out just fine. 888 has been our mentor this year and we were relying on their experience and their ability to score to get us through. And who could resist Powercord's big 2-robot porch. It deployed reliably every time and was a real threat.
Congratulations to 293, 75, and 203 on their victory. They were all well designed and well driven robots and deserved their success.
We'll be back next year, a little older, a little wiser, and "roaring" to go!!!
Hope to see everyone at Chessie next year.
--Mark (2199 mentor)
