Rookie Team Performance

[jaketessem]

As a rookie team attending the Minnesota North Star Regional, we didn't have high hopes. Our robot looked like it came from a junkyard. Our robot's name is the Aluminum Falcon, team 3292. Just like the Millenium Falcon, it looked like a piece of junk, but performed greatly. Our robot had a simple kicker and could go over the bump and was very fast and menuverable. We averaged 4 goals a match and had a high of 6. Our team ended up seeding 11th and we ended up as 8th alliance captain in the finals due to a 1 and 2 alliance, etc. As rookies, we were just happy to be there, let alone compete in the quarter-finals. We ended up being beaten in the first round by the 1 seed. If there are any other rookie teams who would like to share their stories, please post here so we can see how each other did and share our FIRST experience.
