That's nice.

You've got 15 years experience on a team of 17 years. Yes maybe the code was mostly done by a sophomore and junior, but as they're from the type of team that 125 is, I'm sure they've been well trained and nurtured from the second they showed an interest. Your auto mode manages to drive straight all the way to the low goal. That feat itself is beyond most teams.

It isn't actually that easy.



Not accepting help is a different story.
