The Best of UTC

From Goya's Post
My proudest moment - when a team used tetras from our tetra bank. I don't remember the time, team, or whether we won or lost, but I do remember the look on that team's face: a look of teamwork.

This Team Was Team 1665...the team that handed their highest rookie team award to us, team 1568...this takes alot to do and i thank them for that...and i also want to wish them good luck

now my proudest moment: it was definetly the adding up of all three days, the drive team had no practice whatssoever, on thursday this is exactly what we did, and we were slowly getting better....friday was an ok day...our first match, our arm went wrong, but we managed to get the hanging tetra down (something that we did consistently even during our quarterfinals when our whole robot became disabled as i will explain later.....after match #5 our programmer and team captain was able to change our autonomous so not only did the tetra drop, but the arm extended so it was ready for the teamwork of me and the driver)

we wo a few matches, but then for 3 -4 consecutive matches, a very grave error occured, someone in pit flipped the left and right controls over so the driver had diffuuculty driving, luckily this error was fixd and we won a few matches...matches that we won were high scoring 50 or higher... at the end of the day, our record was 3-5-1

saturday rolled on by and we had three matches left...it was time to use our experience...our first match we were with 69 and we were able to put up a few points (WE HATE BEING ON THE RED SIDE) then our last two mrahes we were teamed with the TECHNO WIZARDS) and team 1568 showed everyone why we were a good team, the wizards and the mechanictz worked very well together and our two mathces had point of 79 and 86....
we were 13 out of 35...we were shoked becuse the other day we were 25....then alliance picking came around and our representative was shcocked on stage when we became the 8th seed alliance captain!!! we picked 157 and 1665 and then something went wrong with our robot, during inspections the inspector didnt notice our wirring was backwards, something which would have made our robot disable itself but it worked...some wire became disconnected and someone else put them in, this way the correct way..this disabled our robot until after our quarterfinals...

i just want to say sorry to 157 and 1665
and to the techno wizards.....WE MADE AN Awesome alliance...if you are at battle cry this year look us up...
