Hi...

Kyle the FTAA from the Virginia regional has already mentioned what happened with the back up teams at VCU. We at first had thought of packing up and were the last team to get re-inspected that I know of, but decided to keep the robot out and wait.We started out 7th on the list and by the time the final rounds came up so many of the other back ups had packed up we were told we were then 4th.We were never needed. Had we been called we would have gone. We did'nt start to pack until the next to last final match. We decided that by then if we were not needed we probably would'nt have been called anyway. (I can't recall who the three teams were who were ahead of us.)We were also a back up in Atlanta in 2005 in the Curie finals and although robots went down and others were called we were still 3 away from being called when the finals were over.
