BattleCry 3

Ok well, rather than group everything together in 121's thread which is beginning to become flames, I'll just start a new one.

Heheh, I didnt realize that all the NY teams were from Islip or ended in "1," heheh. Too busy driving and organizing and everything else...

Anyway, as a rookie team at only their second competition ever, we did excellent!! We placed 11 out of 36 teams, which allowed us to pick alliance partners. After everything was done, we were the 8th seeded alliance with teams 177 and 562 on our side. In the eighth finals, we won 2 of the 3 games played, advancing to the quarter finals. However we were up against 173's alliance, who's team played some great defense and kept us (and our tether) out of our robot zone. We lost both games there, but still, making it into the quarter finals is a great accomplishment for a first year team.

And we were definitely noticed, both by the judges and other teams. The judges were again thoroughly impressed with our bot and teamwork and what we could get done in the pits and out on the field, and awarded us a "General Staff Award" which they gave to us as being the "Rookie All-Star." And many other teams came over to us and told us that we were the best rookie team that they had ever seen, some in over eight years. And many considered us much more of a competitor than many of the veteran teams out there, and you all know that BattleCry is composed of some of the best teams out there, so that is definitely a great accomplishment.

All in all, it was a great event, and even though I will be leaving 871 next year and moving onto team 190 I feel that 871 should be a force to be reckoned with in future years.
