Favorite FIRST Memories

[Astrokid248]

Last year, I was the copilot, and it was the finals of the Lone Star regional. The red alliance had one match, the blue another. Ridley (one of our mentors) came running from the field, shouting that the field cleanup had found a #25 half-link. Earlier in the year I was made "chain queen", so I flipped the robot and checked the chain. It wasn't ours, but one chain had slipped a sprocket and wasn't tensioned. That repair allowed us to win the final match and go home the champs of Lone Star. I felt so friggin happy for that fix, I was even brave enough to hug the head coach (two years previous i learned that this is a bad idea without the influence of victory). It was the best moment of my robotics career.
