Great and intense finals!

Thanks, we were trying to keep thing interesting by not picking 1296, and also make sure some of our friends from Missouri earned some well deserved spots to St. Louis. 1296 really came out blazing, and we were very scared that they might just run away with it. We discussed the tug-a-war scenario, but decided that we didn't need to try to race for that RC as long as we got 2 of them. We worked on a 3 tote Auto, and while we had something that had been tested on the practice field some hardware issues were keeping it from being 100% effective by the time the regional started. We continued working on it throughout the regional, and with a new gyro hope to have it up and running for worlds.
