Your quotes appeared to be a direct response to my posts, and a strawman argument against them.
From what I've seen on these forums, 469 has many followers/wellwishers. It's true that many, here, are trying to figure out how to beat 469 ... but the reason for that is that
they are that good. 'nuff said there.

It's hurtful when people cheer for 6 weeks of your hard work being deemed illegal. Or for your robot being taken out of commission on the bump as Karibou said. Perhaps not all noise is cheering, but there are cases where it is pretty obvious what people are yelling about.

It's true that I haven't spoken with them. That being said, I'm a fan of their robot, and their team. They have shown class throughout all of this and deserve every award they are getting. As I said "I'll see them on Einstien".
... and as far as robots being deemed illegal, well we know all about that up here in this neck of the woods (just ask team 190 ... and no one was cheering).
