My turn to say thanks to our allaince partners and competitors alike.
1676- we have always been really proud of what your team has been growing into and it was a privilege to have you as our partners. Our strategy was to have you consistently move up the back row balls and then assist as things got nasty in the midfieold and forward. That you did really well.
3059- The best robot in any of these tournaments is the one that does the job they can do consistently well and a team that can work together with the alliance. Your team did just that and we are all indebted you for keeing the scores rolling in when our bot was the bullseye
And to our competitors- thanks for pointing helping us find the flaws in our machine so we can be stronger next time. Everyone played their best and all should be proud. No coach can ask more than that.
The pounding we took by 2016 in round 2 of the finals brook 2 of our drive drain modules. That frantic fever pitch activity in the sidelines was our whole pit crew working on 3 parts of the robot replacing the drives in the 6 minute time out. We went to the field at the bell not knowing if everything was back in place but confident in our design. We couldnt even reset for auto mode. Thank God it all worked. I am very proud of my team.
But if nothing else the "tackling a really tough problem" brought the team closer together. I guess thats what FIRST is all about.
Good luck to everyone in your future events in the rest of the season. Maybe we will see you in the Championships and we can play again.
