Well, if you were unhappy with were your pit was, you don't even want to know about the original pit plans. The four rookies numbered higher than us (810) were supposed to be in a solitary group off in a corner someplace. The venue just happened to be large enough to fit you all on the end.
Really??!! Wow..... I dont understand that at all. I mean, us rookies are already at a disadvantage becaues we are....well....rookies. Rookie teams really need all the help they could get. If FIRST wants more teams to join and do well, they need to make them feel accepted, and have a reason to get pumped up and do well. I can't think of anything off of the top of my head - still exhausted, but I know this isnt the only thing that sort of "degrades" rookies.

Ah well, we still did really well considering our hardships -- and we had fun so that's all that really counts
