Unfortunately we lost in the Archimedes finals because our captain wouldn't substitute itself out to make our alliance better compete against the eventual Archimedes winner who had all out offence. If you are wondering what our captain bot looked like look up the first year ravens and watch the matches we played. Nothing against their team at all and we are very grateful for them being the only team to show interest in us at St. Louis but they were literally a ramp.
Just as an FYI saying "nothing against them", does not make all of the not very nice things you said go away. I actually just took the time to rewatch the Archimedes finals and in finals match 1 your alliance was down by 9 boulders now 3211 is a good team but they were not scoring 9 high goals a match at championship. In finals match 2 when 3166 was playing defense the opposing alliance scored 11 boulders and yours scored 8, but if we take the number of the undefended number 1 seed alliance (16 boulders) once again you are asking for your third robot (999) to score more boulders then they have been capable of.

But this is me playing Monday morning quarterback with stats to back me up. That being said I don't think insulting a member of your alliance by saying that the fourth bot was better is a good way to represent your team.
