OK here is kinda what I remeber. To start off with 2 teams from two different school paid addmissions fees and were ready to go. Once they bolth got there kits one team (the poofs) forged ahead while the other one was completly lost. This discouraged the other team (255 I THINK) and they lost a lot of interest. 254 was aproached by the other team to see if they would help them out. It was basically so late in the game that team 254 decided that the only way they could get 2 bots done was to build identical bots. Both bots did amazing that year and ended up playing each other in the finals. Not bad for 2 rookie teams. This also was the first time that teams 60 and 254 met. Ahhhh memories. I am pretty sure the story is pretty acurate and if not I am sure Jason will correct me. I sure hope he corrects my grammer too :-).
