Us. Over and over again.
We were the most consistent minibot at the regional, with claw gremlins that kept us out of the tube-scoring quite a bit. We lost most of our games in spite of winning every minibot race we entered.
(...and I will maintain to my dying day that our last semifinal match, we did not deploy our minibot early... It wouldn't have made a difference (beyond pride) anyway, but dang it, the refs got that call dead wrong! Video will vindicate us, I do declare!
)
I saw quite a few matches where the alliance that won the minibot race also won the match, but by a greater margin than the minibot points... There weren't that many where a successful minibot actually made a win/loss difference (though some of them were critical, of course).
