Jane, Yes I agree 100%...although I did not think of it as an issue at the time. In retrospect, I should have been more proactive to ensure the issue was cleared up.
Just to put some additional details out there, we needed 4pts to wrap up the #1 seed. We had a mishap on the Coopertition bridge, where we somehow got team 3536 onto the bridge while not straight, so when we started driving up behind them they got one wheel shoved over the edge. We were unable to do our traditional process of Coop balancing so we tried to different method and failed....ending up with 3536 flipped over.
After the match, I was discussing the details of the coop balance with my driver and other mentors so we could be prepared for that issue in the future. My attention was not on the previous issue with 470.
I honestly didn't know it was an issue...or I would have found 470 and apologized to them.

I have sent an email to all of the HOT Team to review the comments in this thread and strive to not come off as "elitist" and display gracious professionalism at all times.
We have much to improve on both on and off the field.
