This was our 7th consecutive FRC Championship, meaning that the team has participated in all of the St. Louis FRC Championships. I like this venue and will miss it. Fortunately, I like the people more than the venue and the people will be moving on to Detroit next year.

Our qualification performance was mixed. We've improved our gear running to five gears per match. On the other hand, autonomous gear placement consistently failed. Our shooter performed better than in past competitions, but not good enough for us to make a living with it; a 2.5 ball/s average rate just doesn't cut it here. We ended qualification matches in 33th place (of 66) in Archimedes Sub-Division with a 6-4-0 record.

Despite our middle of the pack ranking, we were the 2nd pick of the 1st alliance comprising 1058 (PVC Pirates - Captain), 67 (The HOT Team) and 2137 (T.O.R.C.). Together, we won Archimedes Sub-Division and advanced to Einstein! Unfortunately, we didn't make it to finals.

Braden connected us with event sponsor Bosch, who were very impressed with Sab-BOT-age's use of 3-d printed parts on DEWBOT XIII. We ended up doing a video for Bosch, who were promoting their Dremel 3-d printers.
