The best Final match yet? (SBPLI)

I was standing behind our alliance with some of the 1468 team members when one of your alliance robots started to spit parts of their robot into one of the corner goals along with the balls.

The rapid turnaround of that overlong finals matchup had us all working on cobbled together patches to our robots to get them back on the field. Our alliance partner 870 just cut their shooter out of their robot entirely and went back on the field.

I though Mrs. Temps (1468) was going to have a breakdown from the intense excitement of coaching her team in those finals. She is an amazing woman to have carried the weight and responsibility of her team as the lone teacher and have brought them to the finals in three short years.

You might be thinking of Uniondale HS, team 1537. They used a basketball net for their top-loader feed to a shooter into the low goals that worked very well.

Overall, I personally was impressed by the number of teams, such as, 527, 564, 271, 287, 533, and others successfully using the camera to target the high goal. Autonomous came a long way this year.
