Time to put an end to this now. If there is a problem with the performance of my team then have the decency to take it to my face and not flame them here on CD. The implications of the above statements are very clear. As for our "history", who are you to judge?
This game is not a science fair. Nobody is going to sit there and let you shoot at the goals and nobody is going to let you push them around without pushing back. Thats what the bumpers are for. Thats why you design a robot that is not easily tipped over. And you live with the design you build.
There was never any intention of our guys going out to knock over other robots. But frankly, a lot of them didn't need too much help to be tipped over. When we went over we recognized it was a part of the game. I've been watching the videos over and over and I see more robots repeatedly flying at us over and over rather than the opposite.
Time to drop the subject. Its over. Good luck with the rest of the season.

Alright lets get a few things straight:
1. I did not attend the regional, I am reacting to video, I am at college
2. If I personally had an issue with what was at stake, yes I would spoken to someone directly, I can't do that when I am at college
3. I retract my statement about the "history of pushing" a bad reaction to a previous user comments
4. I am a 5 year veteran of FIRST, I have seen many competitions, if anyone thinks I am naive on the subject of pushing you are mistaken
5. I am not here to flame anyone, I am simply raising an issue that concerned me as a person who respects GP and competitive game play.
6. I had no intention whatsoever of labeling someone un-GP, if anyone thinks that or asserts that, they are putting false words in my mouth
7. If anyone wants to challenge my assertions or has questions and wants to see me in person I will be at the Annapolis Regional PM me
