As the mentor assisting our scouting, I can tell you that sponsors didn't enter our discussion. We were soley focused on robots that would play into our strategy.

The first time I realized that they were all BAE teams was when he made that comment.

We all laughed about that comment as well.
Y'all were awesome. Congratulations on your win.
