That said, what was done was fair and right. Shocking as it was, I cannot complain about the outcome.
Congratulations to Galileo champions 1241, 610 & 1477. You earned this!

Speaking with the drive team this was one of the hardest obstacles to overcome. The fact that it took so long to get it right (speeches, more awards, another semifinal match, and waiting for the scores from that match) a good amount of time had passed. We were strategizing and psyching up to play Archimedes (the robots even had our blue bumpers on them) when all of a sudden it was "hold on gotta play one more".
It's not an easy task just switching on the fly like that and in the end we were out played. Congrats to the champions i a well earned victory!
