537 always extends the mast, rotates 90 degrees, and brings our boom horizontal at the beginning of matches in order to be in a better position to pick up tubes from the rack. This was cool, but got cooler when we picked 494 and 70 to be on our alliance. Anyone who knows the martians know that they build two identical robots, which, for some odd and mysterious reason employed the same sort of concepts as our arm did. Essentially it looked like there was 3 of the same robot our there. Anyway, in auto the martians would unfold the arm and turn towards the chutes to pick up tubes. So, every auto mode in eliminations (we made it to semis then lost

) All 3 arms would deploy in perfect synchronization. There was a 537 sandwhich between 2 martians.

. So in the first 10 seconds of the match we usually had 3 tubes up and we were coming back for more, we lost becuz we ran out of tubes and we couldnt get over to the other side to get more.
