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.

We had some instability too. Lost a few matches to wires coming loose.
In our final match in Cleveland 1126 lost its battery in the first part of the
match. Try tethering up and throwing in a very very short printf ( otherwise
the overhead may mess up your algorithm) and chase your robot around with
a programming cable. You never know what a variable is doing until its under load.
I am sure we will see you guys across the glass or on our side in Nationals.
No one likes losing on a broken bot. Better to die in battle. You'll figure it
out and good luck at Nationals.
