I would appreciate if you would edit you're post to say CODY C instead of 306! and by the way, based on a qualifying match we had with you, what you told us to do WAS NOT what was best for the match.
Okay, I feel the need to step in here.

I really believe that we should be striving for a FIRST community where we all show respect for each other. Coming out and calling a team "USELESS" is blatantly rude. Especially considering the team played some admirable defense after losing the usage of their arm.

I'm glad to know that you're confident in the abilities of your robot. That being said, there's no need to come in here, insult other teams and complain about not being chosen. We all know the feelings of being left out of the elimination rounds (Well, other than those few teams who've never missed out). It's not fun. But dwelling on the situation in such a negative manner is not going to help.

Umm, from the results at usfirst.org it seems that you only played one match with 229, and you guys won 45-21.
