[FTC]: FTC 2008-2009 Championship - your thoughts
So, now that the 2008-2009 championship of FTC is over, what are your thoughts? What did you like or dislike about the way things were run this year? How could things be improved? How did things go for your team?

We were plagued by a string of bad luck all competition; rough handling by TSA meant that we spent all of Wednesday replacing bent axles instead of practicing our robot and fine-tuning code. We had several unlucky part failures and connection issues. The entire time our robot performance was pretty sub-standard, as a mechanism which worked perfectly at Los Angeles failed to get a single puck into our robot at Atlanta. We weren't picked for the finals, we didn't win any awards...

...and we still had a blast just being there and cheering our hearts out for our friends, our division winners, and all the award winners. We don't regret anything.

So, how did things go for all of you?
