Of all the finals series I've seen, the only one more nerve-racking was the absolute slugfest of Palmetto this year. Every time something went awry for this alliance, I thought it was all over. 744 breaks their entire gripper off, the alliance gets an ill-timed penalty in Finals 3 to force a fourth match, the numerous pileups--that they were even moving at the end of the match is a testament to these teams.

Congrats, y'all!

But they sure did get a great trophy from it all. One of the drivers from 744 said that the broken piece of their claw was their real trophy. When it happened I was thinking to myself I hope this is the last time they are going to be using their robot because that'll be fun to fix. Congrats to all teams who participated. This year was a good one and team 1592 can't wait until this season's competition gets underway or for next year's TNT!
