We were preparing to select you but unfortunately, all 3 teams above us did excellent scouting homework.
Good Luck in the off-season!

Thank goodness for tough qualifying matches, Al. Without those high qualifying points, you would have been picking ahead of us! Great to see Miss Daisy finish high as usual. In fact, half of the top eight teams on Galileo came out of the Philadelphia Regional -- always a great tune-up for the Championship.
For folks who wonder why a team like 1038, who finished 46th in the standings, was so high on the scouting lists, look at their average qualifying points -- 42.571. This is the 6th highest average on the Galileo field. That means they lost many very tough high scoring matches. 1038 showed quick and accurate scoring capability with their robot, and you can often find gems buried in the rankings. This year they were one of them.
We had two excellent partners in the Thunderhawks and CIA. Both brought great robots and a lot of spirit to the the alliance. We were honored to compete with them.
