DEWBOT X FRC Championship
A year ago, in the wake of the 2013 Einstein mis-scoring incident (without blame to FIRST's handling of the situation, which was entirely fair and appropriate), the team made a single, terrible vow: Go back to Einstein in 2014 and do it right. Strong words. Tough goal. So here we are back in St. Louis; and oh my God, we did it! Together with our alliance partners 1678 (Citrus Circuits - alliance captain), 1114 (Simbotics) and 5136 (Mechapirates as back-up robot), we were Newton Division Champions (Newton again) and Einstein Finalists.
