This is a second year team that really gets it.
When we were at championships in the Archimedes division, we encountered this team, 4265, the Wildbots, several times, and they were a fantastic team.
First of all, their robot was fantastic. One of the best pure cyclers in the division (and one that somehow didn’t get picked!!!), we allied with them during one qualification match.
During strategy talks for that match, they were accommodating and great to work with. We were discussing the possibility of them feeding our ground loader with discs, and they basically told us:
“We think we can full-court shoot. We’ve never tried it, but it sounds like a good idea” (Paraphrased, obviously)
They ended up scoring a few full-court shots, as well as feeding us with multiple discs for ammo. We won that match by over 50 points.
In addition to their on-field performance, they were a part of our scouting collaboration. They were eager to scout, and offered accurate data, as well as being fun to scout with in general.
At our team’s strategy meeting, when the discussion of picking teams came in the chance we were an alliance captain, their name and number were discussed several times as a great pick that could fly under the radar (and they did fly under the radar. Far under the radar. 
)
In short, our strategy team was thrilled with them, our scouts were thrilled with them, and their performance was fantastic as well.
I hope to see them and potentially ally with them at IRI, and I fully expect this team to be a powerhouse for years to come.
I look forward to seeing them at championships again!

-I’d like this to be a thread of stories about great teams and alliance partners- teams that really get it and excel at representing FIRST, especially young teams like 4265.
