Ditto on the congrats to all the winning teams, you guys were awesome!

Despite our run-in with tons of bad luck, our team had a great time, in large part to the really nice teams up there. Coincidently, two of our personal fav teams had members post in this thread.

To the GilaMonsters (and our other 2nd seed aliance partners 473)- Incase nobody on our team told you after the semifinals because we were just so sad, something weird happened in the control booth. Our pneumatics didn't work to get our robot up from squatting position but when we got back to the pit and tested it on the tether it worked perfectly. A few teams also had trouble in the same spot during finals (like 22) but oh well what can you do. We just wanted to explain because we felt so bad for our partners. You guys had awesome robots and we glad we got to work with you.

And then to 159- you guys rock and were so incredible nice to us. Loved the ram horns and the band, you definately deserved the chairmans award.

Well our team is off now preparing for LA, thanks to all the teams that made us feel welcome in gloomy Seattle, we had an awesome time and learned a lot!
