I had been wondering about why T-45 pulled their robot out of the second and third rounds of the final match, so I went up and asked them. That's when I learned about the tragedy. I'm not posting this to belittle the achievements of the national champions, for they obviously earned a very high placing. I just thought some of you might be as curious as I was as to why they stopped using their ‘bot.

It was the first round of the final match at Epcot and Delphi Kokomo was in the runnings for #1 with their alliance partners. In a devastating battle over the puck, the wires to their sensor port were torn from the connector. All that remained unsevered was one red wire. The mess would never be fixed in time. It was devastating.

The moral? We all get a little unlucky sometimes...
