I don't post on here very often, but this time I feel like I have to. First off, if we are talking about gracious professionalism, do you not think that it is the exact opposite to be posting rumors that could have severe consequences? Many teams that were also in this particular division have confirmed that they were told this one robot was broken, which was evident in their last match. Many have even said that they saw the kids packing up their pit, as they expected that they were done. Someone decided to take a chance on a team that is extremely highly regarded. Any team in this situation would do anything and everything that they could in order to perform for their alliance.

Of all of the places that vicious rumors occur, it is sad that the FIRST community is becoming one. Please, think of the consequences of what you are saying before you post. You are not only hurting the reputation of an individual with these accusations, but also an entire team. A team with great kids that do not deserve for their championship experience to be dampened.
