The first match of the finals the hybrid issues presented. During tele mode the robot made it to the first overpass and then was dead in the water. A bad battery connection was blamed. During the third match we position the robot in lane 2 for Hybrid. The robot did not move in either Hybrid or tele. That issue was a loose main cable going to the terminal block. We could do nothing to get it back. Even after our alliance parters nudged us a few times. (which was a brilliant move BTW, Thank you). I hope this answers your questions. The GLR was a great time. Lots of great teams and great alliances. I thought for certain the 27, 469, 1646 alliance was going all the way. The event took a very interesting turn when they were defeated. In the end the best alliance won. Congratulations teams 67, 326 and 503. Good luck in Atlanta.

It seams that many teams were having problems with hybrid mode, if you needed help with your program (reproduce, debugging) you could have asked us and we would have gladly helped. Us programmers were just sitting around with nothing to do

.
I was hoping you would win the regional as soon as you swept us. It would be so cool to see you win three regionals. But I too was surprised that the 27 469 1646 didn't make it past the semis, they were solid.
Did you see the last match where 326 got 5 lines and 2 balls down in hybrid, that was the best 15 seconds of the regional. I still can't believe as a whole they got 60 points during that hybrid, that's more than some matches in total earned.

Thanks! I will be sure to pass this on to our drivers, they will be excited to see this.
I personally thought you were going to be the champs, with your amazing ball hurdler that was probably the best I have ever seen, and 469's amazing gripper/launcher.
