Re: VCU Congrats, Thanks, Comments, & Suggestions

Thanks to 1095, for picking us for their alliance, and to 975 for being part of it
Also, Congrats and Thanks to 384, for their Chairman's Award as well as helping us out every chance they could
Thanks to Woodie Flowers and Dave Lavery, our team really enjoying talking with both of you on Friday

Comments
--Finals are CRAZY! 4 minutes to get a robot ready again! Wow! (remember we are rookies)

Suggestions
--We got kind of screwed during the quarterfinals when a robot on the opposing alliance dropped a tetra over our human player station without penalty. When speaking with the judges we were told that doing so resulted in being disabled rather then a point penalty. Unfortunately, the refs said they didn't have time to disable the team before the end of the match, and they got back behind the line before time was out and got the 10 point bonus, causing us to lose the match.

*616* - The problem with 539 is in the past. Do not let a ref's mistake cause you to be less gracious or professional. Bad calls happen in every sport. We too had some problems with a few calls, but the refs were doing their best and should be applauded for taking time out of their schedules to help us hold this competition.
