Just a note to say that in a late practice round Thursday our robot pushed team 157 off the puck with ease. We kept them off until we decided to get off the puck and go about picking up floppies on the field for practice. We did like team 157 though, even after they knocked us out of #1 seed position after holding that spot until late Saturday morning. (Congrats to team 157 for your awards) We teamed up with them and had to play a rematch round. The result was 1 floppy away from a perfect score.
We are a little perplexed by the fact that we did so well in the qualifying rounds and walked away from the competition with no awards. (boo hoo)
But of course the real reward was just being there and enjoying the celebration by running our robot on the field with our allies and competing. I think FIRST has done a great job this year making the competition more than just being about winning.
Viva la FIRST!
