Underrated

[Matt Adams]

I'm gonna give a shout out at team 292. While they're certainly not "underrated" (since they made the number one seed... they actually made the number one seed at the Midwest Regional, which maybe makes this slightly off-topic!?) I guess the thing that really impressed me, you can take a look at their robot, and it's very functionally based. There's no parts that have 55 hours of CNC time on them, and you might at first glance sort of consider them a run of the mill sort of robot and expect run of the mill performance.

However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Their drivers and coaching is absolutely top notch, and this has made the difference in every match they've won. It's a straightforward, consistant design with an outstanding drive team which is really impressive.
