Go to Post IMO the main idea behind FIRST is for the mentors and students to work together to produce a machine that the students could never have produced on their own. - Tim Sharp [more]

I would call their feeding superior to most others, though not quite 16, because they can stick the balls in the open areas of the field. Whereas other teams sometimes spray balls across the field and into the corners, 125 makes it easy to collect the balls. I once saw them land three balls within a second or so just off the key, two touching and one about a foot away, and they froze right there. I think this is an underrated attribute in feeding well.
I'm sorry for not mentioning you guys earlier, I didn't want to detract any attention from 125. This entire alliance was on fire. Accurate autonomous and superior feeding it wasn't a surprise that they were the third pick of the second round.

Although I'm sure some teams in the top 8 were disappointed when 16 became the 8th alliance captain.
