As the fourth robot cleared the ground with just a few seconds left to go, bedlam erupted in the place, and virtually everyone was on their feet. I was screaming at Jeff Seaton "that's what we wanted to see happen!!!" Then the scores came in from the refs - no penalties, and a difference in the scores of only one 5-point ball. About as perfect, and as exciting, a match as anyone could ever hope for!!!
At least until the third game of the finals took place...

I wanted to talk to you about a few things ( that much including ) Because from our player station I saw you actually mouth "That's what we wanted to see!" with you pointing at the playing field. But I had a few questions regarding NASA and the summer governor's school... I got completely rejected by my county (but chosen by my school) to go to the NASA mentorship program, and I realllllly wanted to go. I hope I got beat by FIRST participants, because it upset me.
