Sorry Baxter!

"Illustrated perfectly" may be a weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bit too strong. Baxter was the number one seed and picked the number four seed that had put two goals into the scoring zone 9 out of 9 times in the qualifying rounds. By the time Baxter got to the finals, team 118 was 11 of 11 in two goal domination. In the finals, team 118 blew a drive train and let the Bombers down. More specifically, team 118 made a 1/2" steel axle look like overcooked spaghetti (pic) ... not very straight, huh. We bent the axle hours before we shipped and since we could not make spare parts after 5:00 on ship day, we did not have time to make a spare one. We did the best we could to bend it back but Murphy caught up with us in the finals.

Since the Lone Star Regional, we have new axles with all KNOWN problems solved.

Sorry Baxter & see y'all in Mickey-land,
Team 118

P.S. Any one-legged robot is going to have a tough time in the finals.
