Lets do it again...

I wish I could do 2015 and 2016. These were the only two years since our initial rookie year that we haven't made it past qualification rounds. Both of these years we made some very idiotic choices early on which led to our downfall each year. In 2015, we decided to go with a winch driven forklift, which then would get tangled or break. We replaced this with a chain link system for our off season, and was the second pick on the #3 seed. In 2016, we decided to make our main manipulator out of copper tube because a mentor was confident in it. "It won't bend, and if it does, we'll just bend it back". Five matches later and we're desperately trying to reinforce this. If it wasn't for these two stupid mistakes, I think we would have gone on to at least quarter finals in the KC regional.
