Re: A Cinderella story?

At Boston we were in 50th after the quals. We are a defensive robot so a lot of our wins and losses depend on our alliance partners. We all ran like crazy trying to make a name for ourselves with ALL of the top teams. We were picked by the fourth seed 88 (TJ Squared) as their defensive guy. They also picked team 1922 Oz Ram. We went on to become tournament champions. We did our best to block the other alliance despite being double teamed in our zone. While we blocked 1922 and 88 were busy scoring like crazy. They worked incredibly well together, one returning balls to the other who would quickly score it.

We were pumped to be picked into the elims. for the first time ever. And when we saw the scores at the end of Finals Match 2 is was hugs, jumping and tears all around.

I don't think it gets too much more "Cinderella story" than that.

I would really like to thank 88 and 1922 again both for giving us a chance in the finals and for being such GREAT offensive alliance partners.
