A phenominal day. We won all 5 matches. A lot of our design innovations were noticed on
other robots (we can only be flattered). Although most teams still not doing automonous or scoring
too high. There were a few teams that capped, but most not.

Great job to Kevin and Jonathon as drivers, and Aaron for coaching (the head ref
even mentioned that she liked the way Aaron coached since it helped her, and
she thought it helped us too!).

Danny had to make 1 tweak (worth it!), but autonomous knocked it out of the park... again.
Several coaches commented on that.

We were told by the head ref that we could not spin the vortex, despite us showing
evidence from the forum that it was allowed. So, we didn't deploy that tactic.

There was an "incident" in the end of the second match when our alliance partner was assaulted
by 2 other competing robots to (successfully) prevent it from capping. this seemingly would have been
a major penalty, but the judge didn't notice. It is seen in the 2nd match2 video at the end. We still
won that match anyway, but it was an odd event.

We again used our wiring harness invention/contraption to power all of the beacon boxes for the meet.
They had a few problems wuith beacons, and swwitched to batteries. One of those was probably a faulty connection,
the others were just that the beacons flake out some times.

In Summary, we
Finished in 1st place, out of 14 teams
Won all 5 of our matches (only 1 other team did that)
Scored every match but 1 well over 100...most other teams never scored above 100,
although a few did.

Got the highest Qualifying Points (QP)
Got the highest Ranking Points (RP)

Great efforts by the team to get where we are.
