Re: 177 Thanks the 148 Drivers

However, we needed to get some practice in with a claw that we had modified. Knowing that the 148 drivers had many hours of time on their own machine we turned to them for assistance. The new claw had some issues which we were able to improve upon by seeing its performance on the practice field. This testing led to a significantly improved claw. Without the assistance of 148 this testing would not have occurred. In fact, the drivers did well enough to score 5 tubes in a practice match with an arm they had only driven for literally 2 minutes. A big thank you goes out to team 148 for letting us borrow your arm drivers for our practice matches.
anyway we can help. and i think it was still awesome that i got to drive the arm of a championship robot. yall did great. congradulations to yall, 987 and 190. it was an amazing alliance and an amazing performance.
