Re: A Cinderella story?
This year at Palmetto, 343 picked 1398 as their 2nd pick. 1398 has never had (until this year thanks to 2815) a lot of engineering help and as a result has never been able to earn any respect for their robot. When we picked them, it was the 1st time they had EVER been picked to play in the elims. They were awesome! We were able to pick the true "sleeper" bot this year.
1398 has gone to Nationals in the past by winning the Chairman's Award, and this year had actually already qualified for Atlanta by winning the Engineering Inspiration Award at the Bayou Regional. But they have never gotten there by winning a regional!
As far as a rookie Cinderella, both rookie teams at Palmetto had already been picked. So 1398 was the next best Cinderella story!
