photo contest 610 Galileo

[Mr. Lim]

This one was snapped as we were leaving our pit.

Special thanks to 1114, 111 and 771 who collectively provided the raw materials required to construct the blocker.

The beautifying materials were supplied by 771 as a part of a prank they played on us this morning. 610 is an all boys school, and we were surprised to see our pit and robot neatly decorated with hot pink boas and flowers upon arrival this morning. Some very busy and eccentric interior decorators had been hard at work! Not only that, our pit was teeming with a newly-recruited all-female pit crew made up of 771 members dressed in our Crescent School uniforms. It was hilarious and truly awesome!

Match 109 is the type of match that FRCers live to play. 842 and 2512 locked us in on a brilliantly executed bait and switch, which we had to work extremely hard to push through. Had we not, the match would likely been lost. Even so, the margin of victory was less than if 842 successfully climbed and dumped. Unfortunately, their mechanism was damaged during the match, and they were unable to climb.

Thanks to all the teams involved in the match. It was a great experience to play both with and against such amazing teams!
