Today was great hope to see everyone again next year. I was particularly surprised with how well we did.
The top eight seeds kept selecting within themselves until our team (at 14 place) became the eighth alliance. We then won against the the first seed's alliance. And lost a very suspenseful game against Systematic, Stuyvesant and an other team (which I can't recall).
The first match against them, we won easily playing much defence. In the second match however, we got DQed because apparently 369's autonomous interfered with the opponent's autonomous, so that was counted as a loss.
Then in the last match the opponents autonomous caused 369's operator board to fall and was totaled. The IFI representative was gracious enough to fix it up. (That incident didn't constitute a DQ however.)
So we're disillusioned with FIRST, 369's operation is questionable and we have to win if we want to go to the finals. In our final match we tip over and yet our alliance loses 47 to 49 in their favor. (It was so close you could taste it. )
Congratulations to the winners, they deserve it.
It was still fun working at the safety glass station. I got to meet many people and had much fun. I'm the guy at the safety glass station.
We won a safety award.

Remember: Decisions are made at the judge's discretion.

See you all next year
