Rookie Team Performance

[Lee Reid 3136]

My team(3136) had a somewhat similar experience. We went not really expecting to do that well. Our robot was simple, it could go over the bump and under the tunnel but we couldn't climb. Our kicker couldn't kick that far and hadn't even been in the same room as our robot before the day of the competition, but our robot worked. We were able to score on average about 3-6 goals a game acting as a striker and in the end we were ranked 3rd overall. We ended out losing in the quarterfinals against the sixth seeded alliance, but we definitely impressed some people. It was pretty cool to have some teams with numbers in the triple digits coming over to our pit and asking if we had thought about who we're picking for alliances. A couple of teams had even mistaken us as a second year team.
