After extremely rough qualification matches ranked us 52 (out of 64), we were chosen by the fifth ranked alliance captains, FRC Team 125 NUTRONs, along with FRC team 4564 Orange Chaos. Through the ups and downs of the competition, our alliance was able to finish the event as semifinalists! Congratulations to the winning alliance - FRC Teams 2168, 195, and 1073. The team still managed to bring home a blue banner by winning the Chairman's Award at the event! Congratulations to FRC teams 125, 1071, and 3467 for their Chairman's wins! And now...some wise words from brick2.0 as the team gets ready for World Champs
