I have a lot more to say about this amazing regional, but I wanted to address this comment directy.

We at 1114 never do anything "to screw" anyone, let alone our friends at Team 2056. We accepted Team 3161 because they have an amazing robot and were great partners for us. It's as simple as that. Also, Team 1241 has a great robot, no one would be "stuck" with them.
