Brownout made it to the semi-finals but lost in the head-to-head matches with Blackout. Blackout won finals as the alliance captain to 1678 and 6657.

MadTown Throwdown 2019This year's MadTown Throwdown was an amazing event taking place from November 8 through 10 in 2019. The Greybots brought their legendary in-season bot Fireball along with their practice bot 8973 (973C) and their off-season bot 9973 (973B) which they named "Blip Blop."
Our main season bot Fireball ranked 4 and our practice bot ranked 6 heading into alliance selections. Blip Blop got ranked 30th and ended up not being picked (but he tried his best!). Our practice bot got to semifinals and did pretty well, and our season bot made it to a tie-breaker finals. Fireball and his alliance with 1678, 6465, and 5458 made an excellent attempt and had an exceptional performance. |
