I think you misinterpeted my message... the last thing I'm trying to be is ungracious/critical of the partners assigner to us in the Q matches.
What I was trying to say was that it always seem that were with new, less expirenced teams in everymatch. I'm not trying to knock them or anything, I know that at one time my team was just like them.

I completely understand what you mean. Sometimes, the "random" pairings of allinaces do not work out in your favor. That's just part of the way this game is designed. You may have an amazing robot, but one amazing robot cannot win against 2 or 3 good robots. If it just so happens that you are continually facing good alliances, you will not win on your own. You may think it is ungracious to say this, but all robots are not created equal. If your allinace of 3 robots is not up to par with their alliance of 3 robots, you will almost always lose.
From what I saw at the West Michigan Regional, it looks like this is what happened to 67. It's just the luck of the draw. They faced some very tough opponents under tough conditions, and in some cases they didn't have much help. Every semi-experienced team out there knows what this is like. Sometimes you just have bad luck like that.
I know someone will probably go out of their way to be offended by this post. Please understand that I am not criticizing any team or individual. This is just the way things are.
