I'll second that one! 2067 has an awesome bot and they are also an awesome team.

Wow that's unfortunate :/ According to their website they elected not to attend.
They were sitting to the left of our team on Saturday of MSC. Not only did they have a strong performance at each event they went to, but their team was so enthusiastic and fun to be around.

Here's a video of them at MSC.

Thanks, guys!
Joe, I wish we had a 7 disc auto, but during CT, we only managed to get 4 discs.
But that doesn't mean we won't improve, so look out for an actual 5-7 disc autonomous during the state championship.

Ed, why is it their last year?

[BJT]

According to the previous spreadsheet, nearly half of the top 400 teams don't go to champs. wow.

It could be their last year. They may manage to still survive.
But talking to one of their mentors who's son is on the team and who's other son will be joining 2054 next year it was the usual suspect: lack of funds. I do see an awful large amount of sponsors listed but that doesn't always equate to a large sum of money to survive on.
