Thank you for the recognition of our team. We were chosen by the 6th alliance, team 16 - Bomb Squad. Like many other teams in Galileo, luck just wasn't with us during the qualifying rounds. Many matches were lost by a mere 1 or 2 points, as was the case with so many other teams throughout the competition, and we ended with a 3-4 record. Unfortunately there were many teams that played fantastically, but ran into some bad luck, ranked below their level of play, and were not chosen. I can understand how surprising it is for a team ranked so low in the standings, such as ourselves, to be chosen in the first round. Cybersonics is very grateful that we were picked and given the opportunity to play Saturday afternoon against some spectacular alliances, including the one that went on to win Galileo and become the Championship finalists.
