Best 3rd pick this season

[Kyle Reese]

1405 was an incredible 3rd bot at FLR this year. Without them, we would've had a far harder time winning the event. Their defensive presence was insane.

For us, 4028. I was very surprised they weren't picked earlier on Carson. They were consistent, and were quintessential for our upset victory over the #2 alliance.

4028 was an incredible 3rd pick, its unfortunate their robot wasn't working for most of the quals, they had a great shooter when everything was working correctly, and such a simple hang and upper-decker. We were hoping they would have fallen further, but after this match there wasn't much hope of that.

I don't know about you guys but even from the 4th spot at champs and IRI, all-star 5254 aka "HYPE" aka "Haven't You Paid Enoughattentiontokevinleonard" was probably the best 3rd robot.

Shoutout to our alliance partners, team 379 on Curie. By some miracle we managed to pick two teams that were better than us. In fact, our alliance partners (team 3339 and team 379) were the top two teams on our picklist. We were ecstatic to hear that we somehow got both of them.

2168 at NE DMCP - 23rd overall pick, rounded out the 195/125 alliance to win the event.

Seriously, that was an awesome pick. As soon as I saw the first round of quarters, I knew whoever won the 1/5 semis would win the event. 1405 played some killer defense and gave the #5 alliance what they needed to stop our scoring barrage (our #1 alliance scored 194 and 184 in quarters).

For being the 23rd pick, team 6153 Blue Crew was a steal at the Rhode Island District Event. They crossed the Ramparts each match during autonomous and scored a few low goals each match before playing a defensive role before transitioning to the Sallyport Train with 228. They had a solid drive team that used their machine well and I couldn't believe they were available that late in the draft.

1405 played amazing defense but the correct answer is 4678 on Newton, they were putting up the same scores as their alliance partners 3476 and 217. With Newton being so stacked though this isn't even a fair question.

If we're being technical, we weren't even the 3rd robot at worlds, we were the 4th

Thank you guys for the kind words about our FLR performance though! Even months after the season ended, all the praise still amazes me.
