4812 Crosby Robotics Introduction

2013 FIRST Robotics Connecticut Regional. Ultimate Ascent.

Team 4812, Crosby Robotics Team from Waterbury Connecticut, behind the glass before match 60. THis is a thank you video for them.

One great story is the rookie team 4812, Crosby Robotics, with a paltry crew of maybe five students and mentors that felt like they had bit off more than they could chew. The team was created in December.
On Thursday, they were desperately trying to make their bumpers so they could pass inspection, which they didn't until after their first match. Teams jumped in to help them finish. This team was so forlorn at this point.

Then the day began.

In their third match with 228, GUS, they were asked to go after 2170, the Titanium Tomahawks, with their climber dumper, and hit them as they transported their red disks to the pyramid. Crosby's driver did, they lost their cache, and the match was won by only two points.

They were most likely carried with a favorable match schedule, but they never sat on the field and played important defense. They finished as the highest ranked rookie out of four, and 17th out of 51 of the all of the other Regional Teams! Their final record was 5-2-0, with one disqualification because their Robot was not completed and inspected before their first match.
