The ball sensor was bent in for Final 3. As a result, the robot thought we had a ball in the intake for the entire match; and the intake would not suck in. This is why the autonomous sat in place. This is why we REALLY had difficulty in Final 3. Luckily for us, 118 played an amazing match in a virtual 3v1 situation, and sealed the deal. Ugly wins still count, right? 148 <3 118.

PS - We're (of course) redesigning the ball sensor mount, and also adding a control override for the intake. That failure will NOT happen again. However, we're really good at finding new failures!
