So, the Average Joes drove up to Zeeland this morning for the West Michigan Robotics Invitational. We were looking to get some competitive driving experience, display the 2015 control system we've been beta testing, see some old friends, and meet some new ones in the west coast Michigan FRC community. We got all that, and with the help of great alliance partners were able to take the competition a notch or two deeper than expected.
Thanks to our alliance partners 74, 4004, and 141. We had a great run through the afternoon, coming up a bit short against a fine #1 alliance in the finals. We did not give them an easy time.
Congratulations to the WMRI winners 1918, 2054, and 2405 on a well earned victory. Your teams showed off some impressive scoring capability and speed.
Thanks also to the ever-amazing corps of West Michigan volunteers, who make WMRI one of the best off-season FRC events anywhere.

74 had a great time playing with guys, along with 4004 and 141. It's always nice to finish out our season with a trophy. It was a great WMRI as always and we had fun letting new students try driving the robot. It was nice to see teams we haven't played with since week 4. It was also nice to see 2013 come all the way from Canada to play with us, it was a shame they were having some serious technical difficulties or else they would have been a huge threat to everybody there.

Congratulations on a great job at WMRI. It was a great way for a lot of new students to see what FIRST is all about, and a fitting end to the season. It makes me sad to see all these robots turn into museum pieces, but the 2015 Kickoff is only about 70 days away.
Thanks to our partners 2054 and 2504 (dyslexic's nightmare alliance) for joining us in a balanced alliance. It was fun to finally join the Tech Vikes on a Saturday afternoon after all these years of being on opposite ends of the field.
PS: Does anybody have video from WMRI?

I as always enjoyed WMRI as well. Congratulations all on a great day. It was interesting for me as a field resetter rather than a student (though I did stop to drive coach a few matches for my teams). I'm looking forward to Kickoff, now!
