[Alpha 997]

I think if 233 and 254 teamed up with 71 then there would have been no stopping them at all. The 494 alliance probably should have picked another ringer instead of a second lift robot so that they could continue to score after 254 got flipped but o well thats just how it goes. I do want to say that I enjoyed playing with and against so many of the teams that I have looked up to for many years. Thanks everyone and see you next year.

They picked us for our defense. I'm just sad that we didn't have the chance to prove that defense does win championship.

Towards the final matches in Einstein, most offense robots were playing defense and so no ring was scored in like first half of the matches. I think we would've done fine if we didn't have bad lucks like that.
