What's making 469 so "tough?"

What does 33 look like now? I know they are one to constantly "re-envision" their robot, so I'm curious what they are doing now.

What's the word on 217?

469 has a very consistent, camera guided, turreted shooter. The camera does a great job of adapting while they're getting defended. The also have a very quick draw, allowing them to get out multiple balls quickly.

Their robot looks the same as GLR, but they've been tweaking it along the way. It's definitely improved since last week.

They started slowly, but rebounded to ward the end of the day. They're a definite player, and in the same class as 469 and 33. They have the best autonomous mode at the regional, and their "wheel of doom" eliminates the ball jams that have been plaguing most teams.

Don't say I didn't warn you!

I'm at the regional right now, and I hope everyone does the best they can.

Good Luck!

At first, we wanted 1188 but since they were already picked, we couldn't.

Also, thanks to 1188 for giving us the best Alliance Partner Award!

I Don't know why but I feel a little weird after the event.
Does anyone have any ideas on why?
