About  Competition

Our Competition Info is:

At the end of first qualifier, we finished in the middle of the pack 17 of 34 and got invited to an Alliance with the Bearcats and the LoggerBots all with a broken arm.  In the Second, we did pretty well, though we were still best at the low grab for the balls.  We averaged 4 pieces in the grid per game and we got our arm working solidly but the other teams also stepped up this week and so we slipped to 20 in the week two rankings.  We were picked quickly to be on Alliance 8 playoff with 5970 Beavertronics and 2898 the Flying Hedgehogs.  Our Alliance did not proceed to the  next rounds but we did have some great driving and gameplay!
