Also team 1027 was an awesome pick, and we were lucky to get them as they were number 2 and could have declined if they had wanted to. I was the alliance captain out on the field, yes I know they are 1027 not 1071 like i had said. I still don't know why I said 1071, and I know my team won't let me live that down any time soon I am sure. But ultimately all of the team at the regional were amazing, and extremely good competitors.

we were like praying that we wouldn't be picked so we could have the chance to be picked by you if you wanted to... but we would have been seeded because we moved into like 7th or something after some selections... haha we joked around about losing all our matches on saturday on purpose to be low rank... hahaha but we were joking about that... we had a great time...

haha and it was funny when you said 1071...

we thought we won the competition... because during the finals the red alliance team numbers said 165, 88 and 1524... haha... when you guys were celebrating we were gonna run over with you... hahaha
