as being part of what could be called a "power team" i feel like when we go to a regional, i can feel that teams look up to us. when someone comes up to us and says "Gosh you have a great robot!" that excites us and keeps us going, and it makes us want to build a better robot year after year.

our team has not won multiple regionals in a season since 2002. we won peachtree this year and then went to palmetto. team 342 picked us to be on thier alliance. we already knew that we got to go to atlanta, but they picked us because THEY wanted to go to atlanta. we did not only play for ourselves and make our team look better, we played so that we could try and help out our alliance partners get the same winning feeling as we had at peachtree.

so what do we tell the teams that want us to help them win? "No thanks, we already won a regional"? i dont think that that is graciously professional to not help another team because you have already won.
