By the time we played it...it had no motors...they were 'reworking it' and could not get them back in time for the match....
Really no one could have...

Do you folks remember the year most of MIT's robot did not show up in NH
At least they had the good sense not to enter it (as I remember)...

And really...I'm not trying to beat up a team but I am trying to make a point...and I think
you'd have to be dead to have missed this point....

So let's forgive and forget this team's number....let's make sure
this never happens again...

And if we kept the game the same for 4-5 years...we all would have more time to make our
robots work better.....what about the rookie NASCAR teams.....c'mon
guys....this thing about the rookie teams is a weak argument...WE WERE ALL ROOKIES ONCE.

And I'm betting you'll never forget the thrill and mixed emotions that
filled that rookie year.....So don't cry for the rookies....they will have all year
to watch the game, visit teams and plan their strategy....IT WILL BE A DISTINCT ADVANTAGE
to entering rookie teams.....

Be good out there in Robot Nation...
