1640 came to Midknight Mayhem with an all-new drive team and pit crew. The drivers were not our regular driver-in-training, but recent 8^th graders just moving up from FTC 7314.

We also brought along a new 2-ball high autonomous to take advantage of an available fourth autonomous ball.

How did we do? Pretty well. Our qualification performance earned us a 4^th seed spot with a (4-1-0) record. We accepted team 869's (Power Cord) invitation to join the 3^rd alliance, which was filled out by teams 4361 (Roxbotix) and 191 (X-Cats). We were eliminated in the quarterfinals rubber match.

The new 2-ball autonomous never missed a shot and worked (i.e. scored both balls in the high goal) 9 times out of 9 attempts (we also successfully scored our only single-ball autonomous attempt). Scoring is the hot goal is random.

The event is hosted by team 1923 (The Midknight Inventors) in Plainsboro NJ.
