Some serious loss on mojo from Westtown. The major issue was with the rebuilt boulder intake; the original fell apart (very nearly) to dust at Westtown. At first we would rebuild to old specs. But we were able to make it better, faster, stronger. We had the Technology! But, alas, the new, improved intake just didn't work. We spent the qualification matches making it work. We also lost a qualification match due to battery failure.

The intake was largely working by the end of qualification matches. We were, however, ranked 49th in a field of 60 teams with a 5-7-0 record. Quite a poor showing for us.

But we had demonstrated strengths as well, particularly in scoring high goals from the outer-works and during autonomous. Fortunately, team 5895 (Peddie Robotics) saw this and invited us to join the 4th alliance. Team 56 (ROBBE) completed the alliance. We were semi-finalists, losing to the 1st alliance, who went on to be MAR Champions.
