Thumbs up Re: Finney robotics team a winner

Great job Finney! We too know what it's like to benefit from unexpected success. Congrats, good luck, and see you at the Championship!

Oh, and for everyone who thinks the article gets it wrong- journalists who know nothing about robotics do that, A LOT. You should see our press coverage this year by the Arizona Republic. In one article, the author gets everything wrong about the competition and implies we shouldn't have won. A lot of the team got really upset about it when they read it. Such is life. ;p

Congrats to team 1405 for getting the recognition you deserve!
