If I had created "Update 20", I would let 469 know about it before hand, and played the joke for the rest of the competition.
Talking with 469 on the field, they had no idea this was coming.
Oh well, the team members on 469 are better sports than I would have been.

Oh, c'mon. You've never laughed at a joke about Tiger Woods? Or Blondes?
Please. Most jokes will have one group (or person) as the butt of the joke. Get over it, and get thicker skin.
To 469:
Consider this, These jokes (and all the talk about 'how to beat your robot' and 'making your robot illegal') are because when it comes to the elimination rounds
THEY CAN'T BEAT YOU.
You have the most dominant robot (for elims) that I have seen in years. Kudos to your team. And everytime someone wants to make your robot illegal, and everytime someone says 'I think 469 can be beaten this way', remember that NOBODY is talking about their robot ... they are only talking about how to beat your machine. Again Kudos.
