Re: Congratulations to the 2011 World Champions - Teams 254, 111 and 973

We are extremely thankful for being asked to join this alliance. It appeared to be a match made in heaven where auto mode, scoring and minibot needs were all covered. We faced some really great teams on our way to Einstein and then our greatest challenges came with the teams from other divisions. It is hard to play against so many teams that we call friends. I think virtually all that we faced fit into that category. Good luck to all in the future.

We likewise feel bad for 781. The field staff reported that perhaps the Classmate dreaded "slow mode" cut in during the first match as everything else appeared normal. During the second match, something failed in a more spectacular fashion. Even the RSL was non-functional when checked at the end of the match. The team suspects as I do, that something in the DSC failed. Often, power supply is the cause, either through metallic debris or loose connections to PD.
