If you're not first you're last.
But seriously, an 8 yr old put it into perspective a couple weeks ago "Wow, you were second? There were like 40 teams there"
I hate the everyone is a winner stuff. But I mean, we all do build some pretty cool[1] robots. So, while there are definitely winners, I'm not convinced there are losers.
