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.

I agree despite my post before - I meant that from a spectator point of view it didn't look obvious who the winner was. The average FIRSTer didn't know 973 had the world's fastest minibot, and that was what locked up the championship with a very strong alliance. A lot of people thought it was over when 254 picked 111 - but 973 was what firmly locked it up.
