What you are saying about them is just sort of slander. You've come right out on this public forum, and said "I don't think they deserved to attend nationals".
How graciously proffesional of you.

Well seeing as how they are an odd number team, this year didn't matter if they had won the award or not. And I definitely did not have them in mind when I posed this question. I actually had this thought a while back, and I merely used them as an example to prove a much larger point. I don't know what your connection with them is, but I see them almost every night when we work on our robots and this year has been a bit hostile. There are some people who exhibit great qualities on their team and have made a difference for them, but I am sure you have not interacted with all of them, and I can honestly tell you that not all of them have great qualities.
Also it is not they who support us, but their sponsor. They were there for us last year and as always we have supported them. You can talk to anyone on my team and you will get the same response. This year they haven't been very supportive of our team, but we still show them our support and get rejected. Think of how it must feel to try to cheer with them and be unacknowledged.
At the Granite State Regional, they were chosen along with us as a finalist. The first match, our robots were on the field together. I tried getting the cheer of BAE going, but all they would chant was their team number. Now is that support for you? I definitely didn't feel any. Now can you tell me that you know them better?
