Just to add to that, 25 had one of the hardest match sheets I have ever seen.

Some of the highlight matches...
Versus 399 and 1027; 399; 79; 987; 1527; 1013 and 8; 1538 and 987; 1027; 60. 9 of our 11 qualifying matches had very viable opponents. In Semi's 25 went up against 399 and 1027, then in finals 25 went up against 1572, 1527, and 60...all very good opponents.

NJ was no cakewalk itself. Matches against, 75 and 87; 303; 102 and 1403 (score was disputed, but 25 is agreed to have won); 1228 1279 and 1048; 563 224; 522. QF was 11, 88, 225.
SF was 563 293 1807.
Finals were 375 486 1860.

I mean I know the triplets have had some hard competition, but do not go saying that 25 had a cakewalk into winning these two regionals.

The other fact is, 25 simply hasn't been beaten yet, each of the triplets have lost a match, and none are yet to go undefeated at any regional, except for 1114 at Waterloo. 25 is deserving of the top spot, and any of the triplets can fill in behind.

All in all, I'd take any of the 4 robots on my alliance any day of the week.
