Somehow, someway, we will be in St Louis!

We always say at the beginning of the robot build season that if you just do one thing very well, you will be in the finals! You are proof of that. The other thing is SCOUTING, nobody likes to do it, buts its critical. Scouting has been our number one asset for three years now. We use wiimotes that are connected to a laptop to record all the robots actions on the field. After we have all that data we can sort teams by any of the criteria we want. We call it reverse game play, instead of you hitting a button and something happens, something happens and we hit a button.
