Hi, I am from team 247 and would like to clarify things. First off, we are sorry to any teams that were under the assumption that we were going to pick you. It is true we were talking with team 1038, but do not assume that we were picking them just because thay were in our pit with us. Also, I would like to make this perfectly clear WE DID NOT TELL ANY TEAM OR PERSON THAT WE WOULD PICK THEM IF THEY GAVE US 20 DOLLARS.

What happend was:

We were talking to a lot of teams at the same time. One of the teams (i dont remember what one) jokingly asked us that if they gave us 20 dollars, would we pick them. We said, "No", because it is wrong, not condoned by FIRST, and certainly not the gracious professionalism that Team 247 works by. I hope this clears things up.
