Lets summarize this. #1 seed and lost in the semis this year. Last year #7 seed, chosen 1st, lost in quarterfinals. Didn't win any technical awards either year. Do you know what I call a team that does well in the seeding rounds, but loses early in the finals (and doesn't have any technical awards)? LUCKY.

Meanwhile, team 980 seeded 4th and 2nd, and got to the semifinals each time. 330 seeded lower, but was finalist and won.

So, you did well, but certainly didn't "pwn" anyone.
Pardon my memory, for it does not serve me well.

The Semifinals loss came this year at Arizona, the quarter finals loss came last year at Arizona.

You know what I call every one of your alliance partners breaking (including ourselves) at some point during the final rounds? UNLUCKY

While we didn't win any technical awards, don't the 2 Chairmans Awards from AZ and Midwest count as something?

I hope you don't mean ever, because in 01' we took the Delphi's Driving Tomorrow's Technology Award with our innovative back-pack arm.

I still hear that sound of Midwest teams dominating
