The finals were some great matches.

Our robot was the only hurdler but 2144 made sure we always ended hybrid mode with a points advantage. 852 was by far the best herder I have seen (a true testament to how effective a well-thought-out design is).

We hurdled as much as we could while trying to stay in the quadrant of the field closest to our alliance station wall. We had some awesome teamwork going as 852 would bring the trackballs around to the quadrant we were parked in so we could catapult them over the overpass one after another.

While I still think it was the penalties that determined that match, the other alliance was very admirable. 1388's catapult blotted out the sun and 2551 was a very reliable hurdler (not to mention a great hybrid routine).

Our season is over, so it's fitting to say: see you all next year!
