UNH: Our second, and final event before WPI. It was a time of joy, and of mild frustration, to put things lightly. Yes, we did place second in the competition, but we lost to a team that had placed second at the previous event. That's not a bad thing at all, it's good to see improvement, but of course, we weren't without setbacks. Out of the whole competition, we only had two things that threw a wrench in the works, both just chance mistakes. One, was the lights going out at the venue during Finals Match 1. Team 58's robot fell over. That caused the match to be stop, which in turn triggered a replay match to be played. During the replay match, #buttongate happened. A human player button came off and went down the tote chute and got wedged between the bottom tote and the one above it. None of that stack above the button counted, due to the rule of "Totes must be fully supported by the totes under them, or the scoring platform" Even with that though, we still managed to place second, and make it to WPI.
