Thanks for the kind words. We had a whole list devised by a great scout team, but after being spoken to by two other teams, I was convinced that we should go down the list to try to kill the "top 8 super alliances"... we didn't anticipate 1280 to say yes since we didn't talk to them at all before the selection, but we were thrilled to have them as alliance partners. They and MOE both showed how great of sports they were out there, and they kicked a lot of butt!
In spite of our tradgic 30-point penalty that, in video review, almost made me cry, we were so excited that we went 7-0 in divisionals. Granted, we didn't have to face some of the nastiest Galileo teams out there like 254 and 56, but it really brought some inspiration to our team to know that we don't have to consider ourselves "n00bs" anymore. We learned a lot from our mistakes and are excited about moving forward!
