well i dont know your teams robot or how it performed very well, but judging from the placing it looked like it performed admirably.
however, the tone of your post seems slightly embittered at all the top 8 teams and their partners. just because they didnt pick your team doesnt mean they forgot about you, or did not care about you. one cant just say oh i didnt get picked so im going to believe and take it upon myself that all the other teams are responsible. every single team in FIRST has to deal with this kind of situation. In pittsburgh, 188 ran into bad luck or bad strategy all weekend and finished seeded somewhere 23rd out of 37 teams, and we still got picked over some higher placed teams. this wasnt their's, ours or anyone elses fault. this is they the FIRST pans out. nothing is fair, and hopefully this wont affect the team's mindset for the future.

Then all of a sudden you loose one match and go from 5th to 11th and people convienietly forget about you... or refuse to pick you..
All of a sudden the comments are
"wow... we forgot you didn't get picked
"i am so surprised"
"we woulda picked you but we forgot about you"
"woops"
"that suxs for you"
(34th ranked teams were picked over 11th place teams who had been in the top eight from the first match until the very last and only lost because of the alliences fail to contribute to match)
