:Are you telling me that there is no such great engineers at TRW to compete with the likes of Beatty the Elder and Beatty the Younger? You know that there are. FIND THEM!

Of course I had to respond to this one in a little more detail, so here I go...

I honestly think we have a very good team this year. We may not have showed it a Great Lakes, just like you didn't show it at Chicago. We had a lot of functionality on our robot that just wasn't working correctly there that we couldn't get going in the time allotted. But let me warn everyone that everything appeared to be working correctly before shipping to nationals!

I actually went back and looked at the film to see what our scores might have been had we been working properly. What I mean is, we tried to do something and weren't successful because we weren't working properly. Had our robot succeeded when we made these attempts, we would have averaged 441.3 QP per match, good enough for 7th place (better than Beatty, in fact).

I know, 'if 'ifs' and 'buts' were candy and nuts', blah blah blah and all that crap, and this is just pure speculation, but be warned: we're fully functional now.
