In Washington, we were the only 4 disc+ auto, until Spokane. We did have a fairly reliable auto and it certainly helped us at the regional level. However, we didn't get our 6 disc working until the end of Spokane and didn't implement it in a real match until champs.

We certainly had a slow hang for 10 points. We had originally focused on designing a 30-point climber and didn't have the time to implement it, so we were stuck with what remained.

1983- Skunk works robotics - At the Elensberg Regonal was by far the best defensive bot there also by the time of

Eliminations was scoring hard core as well.

Correct, we did not FCS. We were a cycler with a floor pick-up and we were capable of 5-6 cycles a match. We had a 6WD, with 4 CIMs and dual speed shifting. We can play brutal defense if we have to, but we prefer playing offense. At our first regional, we had a rough start and got to show off our drive train's capabilities.

*I agree with all the PNW teams mentioned before, but I'd also like to add 948. They weren't as versatile as 2471 or 1425 in FCS, but they were the most accurate and had the highest point potential. It was fun playing with all three of these FCS this season. It was interesting to see how differently each of them did an almost identical task and the additional capabilities each of them brought to the alliance.
