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.

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.
