Placed 21st out of 36 in the qualifying matches. We were selected as a partner for the 5th alliance, comprising Teams 303 (Panther Robotics), 522 (Robowizards) and ourselves. Alas we lost a Pivot in the first playoff match and were unable to repair this before the 2nd match in which our alliance was eliminated.
We had to deal with several other mechanical problems during the match.
This was a first competition for several students and mentors.

Mechanical Problems
During our practice match, the lower possessor bar did not deploy until near the end of the match. Therefore the possessor and kicker could not be used. This mechanism worked properly when brought back to the pit and tested.
Our Kicker would not arm during the first four (of five) qualifying matches. Reason was that the kicker latch wire ties were replaced incorrectly (zip latch at the back), preventing proper latching. Unfortunately we were slow to catch this (the first four matches were closely spaces).
We bent two left-side lower possessor bar cylinder rods, depleting our stock of spares.
Our key failure, however, was the failure of the left-rear pivot during our first playoff match. Failure occured at the Pivot Tube/Pivot Top junction. We replaced the failed pivot (with our last spare), but not in time for the 2nd playoff match.
