As always, I am impressed by all of the comments that the users on CD supply. I have to agree with Koko Ed as well. Last year yielded some very nasty comments by some members, especially after the finals in Curie. I too was affected by that match, and can remember all too well that i was screaming at my monitor as one of the top teams had their arm ripped off.

I understand and agree with D. Brinza's and J. Young's comments as well.
Like I said before, I know the amount of time and sweat that each team puts into their robot. For the first four years of our program, we struggled just to put a robot on the field, but always came away with the feeling that we had achieved the best that we could do, and that we could only improve ourselves for the next year.

I guess that its just the side of me that has always turned to look for the positive side in life that motivated me to post this thread.

another 2 cents....
