Ok everybody, time to go if you haven't left for North Charleston yet. Some of our team will be getting in late tonight and the rest will trinkle in tomorrow and Friday.

One quick note if you still have time to read CD between now and Friday...
There seems to be a lot of teams complaining about blacklists and teams not co-oping with them. My take is there are teams that may agree to the bridge and then realize after they get behind the glass, that they can't do it for one reason or another. Robots break and time slips away during matches. So before you jump to any conclusions about other teams, try to get their side of the story.
Personally I'll be telling our drivers to focus mainly on the co-op. I'll be talking to you guys in the Q to see who is going up with us. If things work out, great, but if they fail, as long as we both tried, I see that as a partial success.
Good luck to all the teams out there and realize with this size field anybody could be seeded and anybody could be that diamond in the ruff. So scout everyone, and let's not eliminate teams from the eliminations because of the co-op bridge.
