Thank you 173 for choosing us and 1319 playing with us. I had a great time talking to your adult mentors. All of you were very patient with us as we struggled with our arm. We ended up replacing three banebot motors on our arm during finals and Einstein (arm only has two so we replaced one twice), all in record time.

I felt so good we survived Galileo with an arm that was wounded. It made it hard for our drivers and messed up our auto mode.

BTW ask George about his funny story when judges said it was time and he said we were ready and walked out to the field with the judge thinking "I sure hope the robot is behind me."

When we put the bot on the field we had no idea if the arm was wired correctly and would work. It did work and I think delivered on auto that time.
