2015 Midwest Regional

[Jefferson]

I'd like to thank 2194 for selecting us. Y'all were one of the most consistent robots in the field. We were stoked to get with y'all.

I'd also like to throw major props out to Team 2358. These guys were extremely gracious when, as an alliance, we decided to go for the win. We couldn't out-stack the top-tier teams, but we could get those bins from the step to give us a chance. 2358 volunteered to lose serious weight (~40 lbs) to take on our ramp so that we could run our new canburgler.
What really blew me away, though, was when Brandon picked up our previous canburger and started hauling it over to 2358's pit. And I was astonished when they not only got it mounted and running, but took cans from the step during two of the semifinals matches. We hadn't kept the old system in hopes of cheesecaking it, (that's a word now, right?) but they had lost so much weight we were able to make it work.

If we had made stacks like we know we can, we would have had a fighting chance.
