[Uberbots]

rank really doesnt mean much. Its the performance of your robot on the field. If your robot performs well, but is paired with a bad alliance or is against a tough alliance, the scouts on other teams will note it.

If it makes you feel any better, yesterday we picked team 716, who really wasnt doing that well in the rankings, yet had a very god robot that perfectly fit into the alliance we were trying to create. and guess what? we won the competition.

considering the competition is probably over, just keep this in mind for future years, and dont let a simple mistake of the inspectors get you down. As they say, "shift happens".
