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.

I wish I could put things so eloquently, thanks for speaking my mind more clearly
