It's so much harder than it looks, especially if there are not enough scorers to go around. Obviously atlanta will be different, but scouting is more important than ever. It was an emotional roller coaster, but we pulled off the win.

See you all in atlanta.

You can say that again. For those of you who did not see the alliance pickings, Brad was trying to make a decision between two robots for our third alliance. It all came down to the scouting done by several members on our team and the discussions we had late into the night on Friday. I can't stress enough how important good data is needed for scouting and in the end it payed off for us.
