As you may be able to discern from the letter, our robotics team did not perform as well as we hoped at the Silicon Valley Regional. We had put in the hard work and struggles into getting a good robot done, but our efforts did not seem to pay off. Instead of having regrets or wishing that we had a bit more experience from attending other competitions, it is important to reflect back and come up with the next steps.
Hi Electronics,
I wanted to thank you all for a very good season. We made great improvements within the department from previous years, so do not beat yourself up with the results from today's competition. You all helped create a better robot with a solid electronics board (no repairs needed!), the integration of more sensors, and even a button board. Although they weren't used to the fullest, it was a good step towards even better automation.
Our captain messaged me, and basically he said that he was proud of our department and that we should not feel that we held the team back in any way. In his own cheesy words "hold you head high and congratulations."
Of course, there are a lot of improvements that can be made to become an even stronger team, but rather than feeling down about our ranking or thinking about the what ifs or "ehh that was expected,"
please come up with more ideas and suggestions for our department. We will be having a meeting soon to plan out the rest of the year, decide on leadership positions, and come up with goals and steps we can take to achieve them.
Thank you!
Kaitlyn

TLDR: we will bounce back, but it is up to everyone to help out :P
