My favorite part was in a Saturday qualifying match when we *thought* we were hanging on a crowded bar in the last few seconds. It turns out that our hook was wedged between the bar and a lead screw on the opponent's robot - only a bolt on our hook kept us from falling!

The other team did not even know until our lead engineer Tracy went to their pits after the match and showed them where we were hanging from. Turns out the mechanism was damaged and they didn't even know it.

The great part: Team 157 was (I think!?) impressed with our ability to hang in a crowd. They were watching and smiling as we came off the field! A few hours later, they picked us as their #3! Thanks Mike and the Aztechs!

Ken
