I am trying to figure out how to get my name out of the conspiracy theory quote just so some of the well deserved reputation hits to that account don't get associated with me or my team.

I have been talking to the Novak's and they couldn't be more pleasant people and they are probably more devastated at the perceptions than I am. Our team is indeed writing a letter to FIRST, but it is a plea for reasonable penalties and to learn their lesson going forward about the game Aerial Assist. Our letter will be praiseful of the Arkansas Regional staff and volunteers because they were put in an impossible position.

I can only speak for myself, but as a mentor with a dog in the hunt, we had a wonderful time at a beautiful venue, and lost our regional finals due to penalties that were commited by our alliance. That the rules are silly and too punishing I am more than willing to discuss, but collusion or conspiracy I will not entertain.
