Team 2826 WAVE Robotics

[Cyberphil]

2826 was a great alliance partner. After I heard they put up at least 8 tubes a match, I really did not believe it. In our first quarterfinal match, our alliance had almost all of the rack filled. I was in shock because I was not paying attention. I did not even know who filled the racks. It was only in the finals in that 2v3 match did I realize how amazingly 2826 placed tubes. We almost beat the winning alliance with two robots, and one who was not even scoring (Us). It was quite incredible, and will, for the foreseeable future, be my favorite match of all time.

Thank you 2826, and I hope to see you very soon!

What hasn't been mentioned, was the generousity and help, that WAVE showed to our team, prior to the Wisconsin Regional, by giving several critical components, to us, so that we could compete. But even moreso, at the Midwest Regional, where a team from Chicago ( which was right next to us ) , wasn't even finished with their robot frame and drive system ( they had no liftinf mechanism, at all ) , and WAVE sent over several team members, who stayed with them, Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning, until their robot finally was able to move by 10 am Saturday. There were always at least 3-6 powder blue WAVE shirts lending help to this team. They truly showed their generosity and tenacity, to get them going. My silly jester hat, goes off to Jake Fischer & crew, in a standup salute.
