TristateTuneup Tournament (between State and Worlds)

We competed at a tournament for the top teams in Illinois, Wiscons, Indiana, etc.
sort of as a scrimmage/practice for the World Championship.
AIt was fully ref'd, scored, and they kep tstrict adherence to the rules.

On the downside, we crashed 3 times due to seemingly loose connection to phone. We won
one of those matches (match 1), but lost 2 others because of it.We died in matches 1, 3, and Fantasy match.

These were all caused by electrical connection issues. We knew in prior days we had connection problems. We had only begun to test a few days before this tournament.

On the upside, we set a world record in the 2nd match (with Kraken Pinion).
Our diabolical plan to augment a top team like Kraken (they are #1 in world) worked
and we plan to do that again at World Championship.

We went into "giraffe" mode and stole from the other crater, which not only caused us to set
the world high score, but we kept the other top teams (Circuit Breakers, #6 in world) to a much lower score
by stealing their minerals.

We got 540 that match to set a new world record. The previous world record was 537.
