The best Final match yet? (SBPLI)

[Magnechu]

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.

We hadn't used our shooter all tournament (we could get it to work, but not well enough and it would get clogged occasionally, etc. etc.) and the original using all the cameras/sensors and stuff was working but not 100%. We made it as, generally, a defensive bot anyway and in the finals we effectively stopped 353 from scoring during the auton period every single match. Taking off the top also helped take a little weight off the top.

I got to say thanks to 271 and 358, you guys were awesome with your 3 points shots. I think overall, we had a lot of synergy together and were truly a great alliance.

On another note, did anyone see the Newday article on the event? It seemed terribly inaccurate, but you guys might want to check it out for yourself.

Congrats to everyone!

I agree, I was very disappointed in it - it seemed like the reporter wasn't even there. http://www.team358.org/history/artic...26_Newsday.jpg For those who haven't seen it.

I wish I had taken more time to talk to the reporter as I usually make a point to do, so I could explain how the competition works. She came by as we were working on the damage inflicted during our last quarterfinal match and our lower conveyor was destroyed. We were in a bit of a rush. I feel bad the story didn't at least get our alliance right.

The one quote she has from me is literally all I said to her. You'll notice I didn't spell my name for her.
