Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
it is unfortunate that SVR had to end in a controversial and chaotic matter, but there are a few things left to point out.
1. this game was not meant to be defended. though yes defending by herding balls is reasonable, there was significant contact between robots especially outside the bumper zone. In the second to last match 254's pneumatic pressure switch was flipped by a teams manipulator.
2. Our ball was popped for roughly half the second final match. this should eliminate any questions about that match given i don't think anyone doubts that 254 could've hurdled at least once in the time it took to replace it, making up for the difference making penalty.
finally congrats to all rookie teams, award winners, and everyone attending.
especially to CHS who was the third alliance leader and made it to semis in their rookie year.
