Yes, AMAZING match, and look what alliances were competing Jeremiah....Personally, I thought that alliance was amazing. The people on all three teams were amazingly helpful, all three robots had crab drive too. There's very few things that can creep another team out more than a whole alliance running full bore down the home stretch zigzagging out of traffic and strafing the whole end. As for the three things I've learned,
1. The game is really exciting if you sit and watch it for a while.

2. Autonomous can be a major match winner. Look at that same match. Had our alliance not had the idea to put Bomb Squad's massive robot on that side, we would have lost the match. Instead, it created one of the largest traffic jams in FIRST history.

3. Shooters are better than arms, but the punters are in a league of their own. In the time it takes a team to set their ball on the overpass, a shooter can shoot a couple balls over the overpass and score more points.

All in all, MWR was AMAZING through the good times and the bad.
