[ZInventor]

At champs this year, we had just about every major component of our bot fail:

Before our first match, we had to replace all of the bumper mounts, as they had gotten severe damage during the PDX regional.

after that match, we had to replace our "Bottom rollers" (paint rollers that drive the ball lift)

we then noticed that every match, the bot was getting a bit slower, and found out that we had roasted our drive motors.
they had to be replaced.

before our second to last match, we had our front roller (ball collector) break completely, and it had to be replaced. problem: the spares were a few thousand miles away, in Portland!

in all of the pit times when we were replacing parts, or fixing parts, we had teams coming by to help us out!

I'm sorry i can't name all of you, but without you, we would have been out of the competition.

Our team learned a lot this year, and i hope that next year, we're the ones helping out.
