During our last qualification match, we were actually going to have all 3 robots hang in one match, but because of field problems 5 out of the 6 robots lost comms during the match. Unfortunately they didn't replay it, but we didn't lose so we wern't that upset (it ended out as a tie).

ANd would that last time be when we teamed up with you guys for Detroit last year?

4 robots hanging at once is really impressive. When you have alliances that are diverse enough in their hanging styles to be able to do that, seeing the match unfold so well is really a treat. Great job, 67, 51, 27, and 201!

I was actually convinced that it was a tie when the match ended, so when the scores were posted I freaked out. It was at this point that I really realized that we were in the finals.

Then I went to ice our motors for the next match

I was re-living that match with one of our programmers today at lunch - wasn't that the one where we managed to accidentally knock out comms for the entire red alliance and ourselves by accidentally ramming into the alliance station wall? (our frame did NOT look pretty after that, let me tell you). Sorry about that one :/ I think that the only reason it wasn't replayed was because 3002 was still moving. I would have loved to see the finale of that match if that hadn't happened, though.

Yup! It's a shame 3002 didn't go out, so that we could play the match over in it's entirety! If we would have played that match over, we probably would have gotten enough CP ponts for the award :/ Oh well!
