And, after a year of remorse for not picking 1370 at Lenape last year, I finally redeemed myself and knew you guys would be the shooter to give our alliance the success we had. It sucked that we didn't make it to finals, but we tried our hardest and had a great time doing it.

Don't worry about the past. The 2012 robot was truly not a first selection pick, given that it was a failed shooter turned into a defensive powerhouse with a consistent bridge balance (10 points). At Lenape, we weren't on the board anymore when it came around to your second pick, so it really shouldn't bother you
too much. (You can let it bother you a
little, though ... I'm sure we won't mind
) If you had picked us with your first selection, you would have kicked yourself even harder.
As for this year, as I said in a previous post, both
223 and
4285 were awesome partners in the elimination rounds. All three robots were great compliments to each other and the drive teams all had their heads screwed on straight. We did as well as we could as an alliance and just got bit by the bug of fate...
Hope to see everybody at Lehigh *groan* tomorrow night!?!?!?!?
