Yikes. 13 less teams can get in this year. That's 13 less chances for teams like mine to get accepted. We had a poor, incomplete show at Chesapeake, but I'd like to think we had a great turnaround at Virginia and finished with a top 5 robot (even if we finished 10th, I'll say we're awesome) Oh well. I really want to get a strong contingent of 422 to want to go so we can apply and leave luck to heaven.

It's a good primer for a championship in terms of team quality.
