The 3 finalist for each division were on standby as back up robots. I kept joking with the driver that so and so was working of their robot, and we might go in for them. It bacame a running joke as we were watching the Newton winners as they kept winning and advancing.
Then all of a sudden a field quer came up..."Team 343 get your robot ready, you might be going in." Complete seriousness came over us. We were close to seeing Einstein again, and being the finalist with some great partners in 1718 and 16 put us in that situation.
