Team 2826 WAVE Robotics

Normally around this time, most of the attention of the FRC community is directed at the champions and the teams who played on Einstein. While there's nothing wrong with this, I'd just like to direct some of the attention to one of the coolest stories and one of the best teams we've had the chance to play with this year. The team I am referring to happens to be team 2826 Wave Robotics from Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Ever since the Wisconsin Regional (where they were our alliance partners), many of my teammates and I have had nothing but praise for this relatively new, but powerful addition to FIRST. At this year's Championship in St. Louis, their prowess continued to be displayed as they performed very well (in a powerhouse filled Curie, no less) and ended up pairing with our friends team 71 and team 103. In the division finals, they faced off against the High Rollers and their alliance. Unfortunately, team 71 was having some issues and the match ended up a 2v3; however, both Wave and Cybersonics stepped up their game further in order to put up 108 (correct me if I'm wrong) points as a 2 team alliance, losing by a very tiny margin. Now, that's incredible. I did not see the match as it happened, but I wish I could have witnessed it. I would have loved nothing more than to face Wave and their team on the championship field, but it's no disappointment that they managed to place second in their division. Wildstang is very happy that they performed so well this season, and we look forward to seeing 2826 as a perennial powerhouse in both our regionals and at the championships. Obviously, if they left an impression on our scouters (believe me, it's a tough crowd), then they are definitely doing something right. So congratulations to Wave Robotics for a phenomenal season, and I look forward to seeing you next year.

P.S.
To the two Wave kids who stopped by our Hall of Fame booth for our QR scavenger hunt, I appologise for whomever stole our clue from the FIRST store and ruining the fun for you guys. Hope you enjoyed your wristbands.
