An auctioneer just tried to sell a dryer timing part by saying "Give it to some Robotics students. They'll build you the rest of the dryer!"

First win of the meet! Given that that was our 6th match, I'd say 27th place of 40 is impressive.

Shout out to our spirit animals!

Fun fact: thru entire 99 match Escanaba meet, there were only 2 ties. Team 5709 alone just "tied" that in their first 3 matches. #omgrobots

[Rudyard Nerf Herders @team5709]

Aaaaaaaaand we're upside down. Fate intervened and an unrelated field issue has ordered an immediate replay.

Rebecca, our Interim-Safety Captain, doing a great job updating the team on local safety concerns.

102-102. Ties are rare, but a tie in the triple digits is even more unusual! We scored 2 ranking points with the tie and a defensive breach.
