Whining about it and placing the blame somewhere else isn't going to make a difference.
I think teams 103, 75, and 1251 were three very good teams who probably deserved to play a few more rounds on Saturday afternoon. Congrats to all three for their accomplishments this year, and better luck next season.

Nice, Tom. You caught me. I told myself I wouldn't do that anymore since I bragged about my team so much before and then I was completely wrong. I didn't really notice any exceptional teams on Curie that didn't get selected. However, 16 could score a ton of tubes on their own and didn't get selected, 357 had an awesome lift design and didn't get selected (probably the biggest overlooking done). There were also teams that I was surprised to see go or go so early. 910 was one of them, not that they didn't deserve to go, but that I wasn't really impressed, per se, with their robot. But, guess what, they played well and made it to Einstein, good job.
