That is why I agree with this petition that the technical fouls should be lowered, changed, or the safety zone improved to decrease the likelihood of bad feelings about this game.

I want to apologize to you for associating you with my above post, as it was entirely out of line both for FIRST and this site. At the time, I was still bitter about a game and regional that was entirely different than what I expected it to be. The mountain of foul points awarded after matches and the field issues in this year's game makes it easy for someone as stubborn as I to say "it's the field team's fault" or "this was rigged." When it's all said and done, the alliance that best played the game and adhered to the rules advanced from the Arkansas Regional. The personnel at the Arkansas Regional worked hard to provide a game that was a lot of fun. I deeply regret this post and would like to ask that it not be associated by the reader with my team.
