Brandon,
I greatly appreciate your reply, and understand that you were misunderstood. I believe that you were simply excited about your team's robot (as we all are), and did not know the background of what was going on here.
Making an "engineering find" that works for your team is something to be proud of, as your original post shows. This is a good thing.
Your apology is accepted for an innocent mistake. People... there is bit of a lesson here. A person is not defined by what mistakes they make, but moreso by what they do after they realize their mistake.
(I still may go around as "some guy" once in a while, though...
)
Andy B.
