Since we didn't get a release video together for regionals, here's the official 971 preview video for Championships.

The team has been working very hard on improvements and practice, and we can't wait to mix it up with all the great teams on Curie!

Please direct all robot discussion to this thread.

FIRST is AWESOME! Where else can you watch and help kids blossom into leaders of tomorrow?

Awesome video. I love the part where you put up 18 in under 20 seconds, who needs to triple balance when you can do that?

[Hawiian Cadder]

Awesome robot this year, Always a fan of 971's machines.

Awesome video guys! You're gonna be a force to reckon with on Curie!

It's a shame we always ended up against each other. Playing with 971 in a legit match (other than the one match at Sacramento where our driver station crashed) would have been awesome.

Well, winning the two regionals we also attended (Sacramento and SVR), you gotta go all the way at nationals. Best of luck from team 2073.

You are not the only one that would like to see that alliance.

Yeah that was unfortunate, you guys built a really great robot this year and put up a great fight in the finals, we would have loved to have had a chance to play a real match with you. There's always CalGames and MadTown though!

I would have loved to see that as well. I'm really sad 3256 came so close twice, but didn't qualify for Champs this year. You guys are truly a first class team, and have been a pleasure to work with these past years.

And back to the thread, I look forward to seeing 971 rock it on Curie!
