How do we do that????? well, we don't do it alone. We do it with the help of very talented alliance partners. We have been fortunate enough to compete with many outstanding partners over the years. I believe the most important attribute of our alliances is "team work".

A prime example of this is team 256 (Willow Glen HS). They have an outstanding robot and was able to seed number 5 at the conclusion of the Silcon Valley Regional. However, they are a robot, like us, that needs to cross the field via the bridge. Our other three alliance partners, Kingman HS (#60), Waialua(#359), and Waipahu(#636), were limbo bots. To reduce the risk of dislodging the bridge, team 256 volunteered to sit out the final matches. It is teams like this that we have had the opportunity to play with.

So, thank you all for noticing our accomplishments, but please remember that we have had much help from many teams around the country.

Congratulations once again to the best arm team in the country (Ford Kingman HS), the outstanding limbo bots from Hawaii and Willow Glen for their lessons in team work.

See ya'll in Florida.
