One story of "no robot left behind".

At each regional we have helped several robot teams. At our last match at Bayou I visited our partners trying to make sure their auto mode would not run into us. Neither team had an auto mode so I sent our lead programmer to work with them.

He got both of them going with a basic go straight and make 4 points after a three second delay.

Both of their auto modes worked each getting 4 points. They were excited because it was the first time they had an auto mode that worked. As it turned out we won by 6 points and without their 8 points we would have lost. That win ended putting us in the top 8 and allowed us to pick our partnership. So it was a win for all!
