Theese teams won awards but I forgot which one got which
Alaska team (forgot name/number Sorry!)
Funky Monkies
TKO
GRT 192 (The award for cool robot gizmos that you can explain in conciese terms)
I forgot who won volunteer (Sorry!)
Great competitions out there. Alliance selections are going to be very interesting, as a lot of great robot teams are in the lower rankings (254 is 35th, 114 is 38th etc). Oh and just my callouts to interesting things I saw...
I liked 973's method of ball removal
2144 pulled of the counterfacing omnis (looks like <> from underside) spectacularly
254 didn't show up to some of matches today! Why Cory?
1280's pit was awsome, being right next to it was..... humbling
Apparently there was a fire on the field while I was in the pits! I always miss the good stuff... (Sorry to the team who it happend to)
Not much as far as hybrid, I didn't see much as far as knoking balls off.
BTW - As pit captain I'm sure there was a lot of cool stuff that happend that I didn't see, so don't hate If I missed you!
