2015 Cow Town ThrowDown

[bmammen]

Team 1785 echo’s the sentiments of Team Titanium and the Lutheran Roboteers. Blue Springs Robotics looks forward to this event each and every year as we add new members to our team. The experience they gain prior to the new season is invaluable. I can only image the work and coordination it takes to host such a top notch event.

Many thanks to Lee’s Summit and Hickman Mills for this superb demonstration of everything FIRST stands for!

1939 would like to echo the gratitude from other posts. This event is always so well run and always a blast! Thank you to 1730 and 2001 for hosting the event and thanks to team 2410 for inviting us to be on your alliance. Also, thanks to all the teams who voted for us for the Gracious Professionalism award, we are honored to receive it.

Congratulations to the winners and finalists. The winning alliance captained by 525 was consistent and never gave up. Thanks for giving us such an amazing set of finals matches to cap off the event.

If match video ever gets posted, it is worth watching team 1806 consistently making 4 stacks of 6 with a container and a noodle. I haven't seen other teams capable of scoring 168 points per match by themselves. It was an amazing site to behold.

Between Cowtown and a World Series Championships, it was a good weekend to be in Kansas City!

The Swartdogs also want to thank teams 1730 and 2001 for planning and running the Cow Town Throwdown. We enjoyed our trip there the last two years. It is a very well run event that we will look forward to attending again.

The playoffs were very exciting and full of highs and lows for all the teams involved. Thanks to our alliance partners 3284, 5003, and 3928. Together we made a great team and learned to never give up even if you lose 90 points at the buzzer in the first finals match. Congratulations to 1806, 1825, 1763, and 2335. Your alliance was impressive and put up high scores.

A great shot of Titanium's rockin' 3-tote Auton mode from the on-board camera of Lutheran Roboteers' bot, "Comet", during Qrt Final Elims.
