MTTD 2017 FINALISTS
At MadTown ThrowDown 2017, Team 5940 was captain of the 6th seeded alliance and picked teams 971 (Spartan Robotics) and 9482 (Arrowbotics) to join our alliance. We upset the 3rd and 2nd seed alliances and made it to the finals, where we faced the 1st seeded alliance. In two nail-biting matches, the #1 alliance managed to best us with two very close matches. Being Ciabatta's 4th competition, we were able to dial the robot in almost perfectly where we were able to place gears and scale very consistently.
