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.

The "minibot coin flip" term is meant to refer to matches where the point differential on the rack became irrelevant, and was to be decided by relatively random nature of the minibots. However, there was nothing random about the minibot success of 973. They were consistently the fastest on Galileo. The minibot coin flip determined many matches throughout Logomotion, but it never really came into play for the World Champion alliance. They definitely didn't leave anything to luck.
