: : Did you check that bridge it hangs with about an inch or two off the field!!
: And....from what I remember hearing, those bridges are built by the same company & transported from regional to regional (no, I dont remember where I heard this)....so we might be looking at these same bridges at Nats.
: Wouldnt it be interesting to see the bridge from UTC on one field and then the bridge from VCU on the one right next to it, and both balanced? I can see a lot of peeved people at Nats.
: : TEAM!! 236!! TECHNO TICKS!!!!
: Side note to 236: Every time anyone on our team mentions that number (or anything about ticks), that cheer can be heard from whoever is in the room at the time. Just wanted to let you know how catchy that darn thing is

Yes the bridge was very .........problmatic. such as pressing one end down in order to go over and the bridge comming completely down to the carpet then we take our arm off it and it comes back up to a balanced position. I dont know what happend but we ended up aroun 52 or so when we did exactly the same thing as the number 1 seed. Our stradgities just kept going down the drain. I agree that some of the rookie (and some non rookie) teams werent being compeletly truthful they told us what they sould be able to do insted of what they could actually do. Im very embarrased at our scores. arrrrrrg its very fusterating....... oh well lets start on physics makeup work.
