Yeah we've been a team since last year. The competition has been around for over 15 years. Last years robot - we're team 4334. Context: We won "rookie all star award", meaning we were the best rookie team in our regional. That brought us to world championships (400 out of >2500 teams), which we won our division in (top 12 of 400). Sadly, somebody used an exploit on the wifi of the event (which was found out months later), and we lost the world championships because of it. Our facebook page, if you want updates.

The dreaded triple balance move at the end there for the red team -I have no idea what that means :)

That was cool though, I enjoyed watching it. I'll check out the FB page and look forward to the updates. Good luck preparing.

We won in literally the last second. A triple balance was worth 60 points, which would have killed our score.

Just re-watched it knowing about the 60 points. -Pretty dramatic finish!
