Sounds like some teams need a little lesson in gracious professionalism. Team 1566 goes to the Utah regional (which was just last weekend). The last two years, team 399 and team 2122 formed an alliance and many teams found that unfair (they were the top two seated teams both this year and last...and they were champs last year). Well guess what? People griped, whined, and complained that it was unfair and it shouldn't be allowed. The teams that were going against them first instead of griping and whining instead wished 399 and 2122 luck and they met on the field. It all came down to the final seconds when their opposing alliance balanced two bots on the bridge and they got to go on. I'm all for thinking that newer teams should have a chance to win, but instead on whining and griping, make a strategy with your alliance and win fair and square please. And if you don't win, you did you're best, you made it far, and you should be proud!
