Absolutely untrue. You and the rest of your alliance played the game, and played it well. Even if the blue alliance would have won, it would have been in 2 out 3 final, and would have been decided by two points (IIRC, two points). Everyone who matters knows that it was your hard work and ingenuity that earned you the right to be in the finals, and that if there was an incorrect ruling that gave you the victory, that it wasn't your choice. You, like all teams, rely on the officials running the tournament for rules interpretation and enforcement. You played the game and at the end of the day the score said you won.

I had the privilege of watching you in person at Portland and today on the Webcast. Your drivers are smooth and professional, I've never seen you mug another robot illegally, and your scoring is impressive. You may feel like you didn't deserve to win, but you definitely deserve to feel good about what you did in this event. It was an impressive achievement.

No one hates you!
