The one match that all of our robots were working, we won 70 something to 30 something invoking a G14.

Hey, hey, hey. We beat you guys with pure skill.
Proof:
Otto broke at the very end of the first match, we won. Second match got restarted. Third match our robot didn't work at all, Otto was, and we still tied you. Fourth we lost badly, I have no excuse for that. Fifth, Otto didn't work at all and we beat you.
I think it seems pretty even to me.

And yes scouting is very important. there have been years where our robot wasnt great at the time but due to luck we were able to be the 6th seed at a large regional (VCU 2004)

We would have been first seed if our drivers station didn't break, and we had good alliance parters against 1764 and Flash.
I'm glad it worked out how it did though, otherwise we probably would have not ended up in an alliance with you guys.
