I feel they should be ashamed not applauded. As amentor I would not of allowed that by my team.
I find that to be extremely un true.
How is this ungracious or unprofessional?
If anything we were just playing the game.
501 scored two tubes
Buzz scored six
Our aliance partner had their ramps out
We played the game.
Fair
and square.
The other alliance played defense.
The other alliance had an extremely strong defense
We did nothing to prevent them from scoring
And if I remember correctly they also had one of the best rampbot teams too


I see nothing wrong with this high score.

As a student and ten year participant of FIRST I've seen much more
ungracious and unproffessional things done on the field
that had nothing to do with scoring. No one that left this regional today should be "ashamed" or "not applauded" for what they have done. No one from the FIRST organization should. This high score is simply that...a high score. Some alliance somewhere else will top it.

A score is a score
