Hey guys-
I am very happy the Moe team attended. It took a lot of arm twisting (not meant as a PUN in any way- sorry). But imagine how they feel to always have the audience out to get their robot? I guess if you build a great machine it sets the bar higher and gives the teams a goal to work for. Beating a machine like the Moehawk is a landmark achievement, at least it was for us.
Team 365, a relative youngster in FIRST, should be proud to have had such a great rise as they have in the past few years. They really seem to have the ideals FIRST is looking for and they certainly deserve all the recognition they have received.
So rather than go after the green guys - since we won each of the four off-season comps we entered- does that mean we are next year's target? Hye, we are guilty as much as the rest of you but I hope my guys all recognize the difference between good natured rivalry as opposed to vengeance.
Consider this- we won awards with 11, 102, 303, 84, 87, 341, 271, 293 and several others this year and in the past. That means we have played with nearly half the field of BE as partners. I consider all these teams our friends. The same goes for the teams we have beaten. Team 303 has both beaten us royally and been beaten by us yet we consider them good friends. Dean and Woody had the right idea when they developed the Alliance format for FIRST.
So lets cut the Green Guys a break. I want to be on their good side when they build their next monster machine next year ; )
