Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008

As the lead mentor for 2024 I can assure you we have no hard feelings towards anyone on the red alliance...only admiration! You guys were awesome and we'd love to have been with you on an alliance! Mahalo for the "Thank you" for calling a timeout so you could fix your bots. Our team captain called it without consultation which says a lot for his "gracious professionalism". I told him after that it was right thing to do and that we wanted to beat you guys straight up...it was unfortunate about the call in the third game to do a replay but you guys had nothing to do with that!!
I feel really bad for our alliance partners who both now will not qualify for Nationals. I wish there was some way FIRST could see the error and at least qualify team 8 and 192. IF anyone out there has any pull I'd love to see you bring the issue up. They were fantastic alliance partners with great spirit and would only be a plus at Nationals.
