Einstein 2012

118 did run flawlessly on Newton though, not even the least connection problem.

Yeah. Never dropped communication once the whole competition once the whole time. In the semifinals they didnt move.

Yup. Just like CT. Strange, huh?

Oh, and didnt they work perfectly at lone star and the alamo?

The curse persists. Hey, at least it was a clean match.

Not a single triple balance on Einstein because half of the robots that would have done were sitting dead. What a joke.

Quoted for truth. It's so incredibly sad. These teams put in thousands of man-hours and dedicate an entire season to achieving near robot perfection. And how are they rewarded? With field connection issue. What an embarrassment of a finale that Einstein was, the FIRST community is going to have a lot to say on this one. Why spend the time to compete in this competition if field issues are going to be the downfall of us at one point or another? I know we are in this for more than the robots, but it's incredibly frustrating when the even playing field we are all supposed to be playing on is anything but because of technical issues on FIRST's side.
