Hate that almost every year the design that our team rejects is proven to be the better bot and we always get beaten by that design. Ahh, oh well I guess.

Nonetheless, awesome machine as usual and I hope your drivers had a fun time practicing. Hopefully see you in Atlanta on Newton again. (06 repeat?) We still have that Programming Prowess award you guys gave us on Newton that year. ^_^
In the era of the three team alliance there is a place for everyone. Even the elite robots need support. It's tough to win matches on your own nowadays. If you do one thing well,, are reliable and work well with others those elite teams tend to notice those kind of robot and oft times want them.
Just because your robot is not elite status does not make it worthless. How you use it and carry yourself as a team that will make it far more valuable than you can possibly imagine.
