about the first seeded team being eliminated..my team,573, was paired with them for the first match and our robot had been running fine for the most part during the entire comp, minus a track being knocked off here and there,but it was fixed before picking...no one even saw it coming but for some odd reason during the autonomous mode when were going to knock down the wall the battery drained EXTREMELY fast, if you watch the SOAP video you can see that our light was dying, had it not died it would have been real easy for us to spread our wings and clear the ramp like we've done before.
also at the end of the second match there wasnt enough room for team 73 to get up the ramp so it went back to knock some bins off the ramp into the zone, if im not mistaken their robot was still touching one of the bins which was touching others when time ended
they did have an excellent robot, they had made a nice stack and held it until the end
we feel real bad about what happened because we had high hopes for that alliance and we would like to thank 1022 for picking us and wish them and team 73 the best of luck.
