Sorry for busting up your bot.  |
Heh, no worries! We were restarting the team that year, so we only had 3 students and ~$700 budget and only our dads as mentors, so we were proud of ourselves getting as far as we did. It was all 3 of our 1st FIRST years as students, and our Senior years, so it was our one and only chance.
Interestingly (looking back) we had never blamed you guys or anyone else for us losing, we went home upset, but blaming ourselves for not preparing better. This is something I think I need to teach to some of my kids next season!
That Shimmy bot was nearly unbeatable, if i remember correctly, you guys won the regional, didn't you? At the time, we were just happy to be able to hang against you guys, we had to do some muscling in order to make it up that step against you and get our hanger on the pole.
