Re: Newton 2008
We had a great time in Atlanta. I still have a hard time believing Team 968 had the confidence to pick us after our embarrassingly bad qualifying matches Saturday morning. Before the alliance selection began, I was hearing a rumor of who 968 was going to pick, and it wasn't us. Anyway, on practice day at Atlanta, we made a change to our machine to try to improve things, but didn't have time to get the change sorted out. I suspect our decision to change things back to the way they were at the Hawaii Regional gave the 968 guys the confidence to pick us. It any case we were extremely appreciative of 968's decision to give us a chance with their superb team.

Congrats to 1114, 217, and 148. You did a great job and were the best alliance at the Championship. We knew going into the semis at Einstein that we had an uphill battle on our hands to try to beat you.
