Team 2165 took 2nd out of 52 teams in the qualifying rounds and was captain of the alliance (including Team 476 of Ponca City)
that got 2nd place in the final 8 alliance double elimination. Amazing for a robot that did not work going in and never got to do a practice round.
Also, we got the trophy for Creative Design of a robot. Might be a clue as to why it was hard to get it to work.
