hey guys

Actually we ended up 18th seed, (at least I'm pretty sure, maybe it was 17 or 19!?!) Anyways, early on we had a lot of unfortunate electrical problems, and we were becoming immobile nearly every match. We finally fixed it before our last 2 qualifying rounds. Our last qualifying round we were like 40th seed, so we knew we had to prove to other teams we were worth picking. We made a guttsy strategy to try to clean up the floor of balls. We came darn near it too. We ended up with 32 balls and won the match 52 to 47. Wildstang happened to be watching this, and i guess they were impressed enough to pick us (THANK YOU WILDSTANG) Anyways, we went on to lose to team 308 and their partners, who ended up winning 2nd place overall. We had an unfortunate bloated ball block our entire ball system, preventing us from making a single dump and winning the match... otherwise, we could've won that match. Everything could have changed from that point on if it wasn't for that. I'm sure many teams had a stroke of bad luck preventing them from winning certain matches. I think once you get to the final teams, alot of it is left to luck and wear and tear of robots. I guess, if you look at the fact we almost beat the 2nd place team in nats, we didn't do so bad as an alliance (16, 111, 1) Thanks for the hello's from team 343. I wish I could have watched some of your matches, but I didn't have much time between matches to come over there. Well... Congrats to the final 4... I wish our alliance could have been up there to compete with you guys...

Hopefully, the Bomb Squad will be back next year to enjoy another year of competition. See ya then....

Lance
