Re: Recorded can burglar times and special thanks after CMP
Jake has said most of what I would say. I'd like to add just a couple of extra notes.
A shout out to Lucien, mentor on 118. This is the first time that we've gotten to sit in on another team's drafting and strategy session. Lucien ran an entertaining and productive draft session that kept the students fully engaged. Wow!
And to 1671. Amazingly this is the first time we have been allied with them despite facing them twice a year every year. That we could get the robot as our 2nd pick that we most feared in our division was truly amazing. Along with 118, 1671 and us had gone 1-2-3 in qualifying in Sacramento. (Why didn't the announcer call us the "Sacramento Power Alliance?") Birdbrains had improved tremendously over the season, and they were willing to take risks. They went for the win in Sacramento rather than just trying to reach the finals, and fortunately they qualified through Chairmen's. And again on Newton they risked added an auton which would have made them formidable. Just ran out of time. They were able to get back to their Sacramento configuration and we were off. We never had to bring out our cheesecake. (And I talk about 5012 in their thank you thread.) We have been working more closely with 1671 and look forward to an even better relationship.
