Tie wrap the battery connectors together

I'm the coach and can tell you that I messed up by not taking all the time alloted to set up carefully enough. I felt the connector snap together, but our battery location wasn't the best and I couldn't get a tie wrap to fit around the connection, if my life depended on it. Another lesson learned - here - we will be re-arranging the battery connector to get to it easier. Tough brake for us - but, no one to blame but me!
As for the regional, Congrats to Team 27 and their partners - they fought for everything and earned a GREAT victory!
And to our partners - Team 33 Killer Bees and 191 Wilson Xerox - you are GREAT partners, sorry we let you down. Hope to get another chance, so we can redeem ourselves.
To the teams that gave us awards and compliments - I'd just like to say "Thanks"- those really do mean alot to us.
Goodluck to all - next weekend. Can't wait to get back into the battle - just 2 weeks till Great Lakes!
