I know that Karthik's term "minibot coin flip" has become a popular way to describe the end game this year. I'm not a big fan of Logomotion's end game, and I think the description is true, to a point. But, eventually people have to recognize and appreciate greatness. 973 had the fastest minibot on Galileo and potentially the fastest minibot at Championship. 254 chose them to guarantee 1st place in the minibot race every match.

From now on, if you use the term "minibot coin flip" to describe our matches, know that our alliance was using a coin with two heads, we called heads every match, and won every toss.
