I think the GP level at SVR was extremely high - Our team was in a quarter final match where both our robot and the robot of our mentor team (opponent) both got flipped - in both cases due to teams trying hard to win, not teams trying to intentionally disable opponents. Also it was pretty easy to get flipped if you have two robots both going up the ramp at the same time, and I am surprised there wasn't more carnage!

The line between fierce competition and mean sprited competition may be very fine, but I did not see it being crossed at SVR.

I have to agree, mainly because we were the one that got flipped over!!!

There is a good side to this though. After the match the whole team came over to apologize to us.
Wow! Even if gracious professionalism possibly slipped briefly, it certainly sounds like it prevailed in Silicon Valley.

Congratulations.

We will have to try to do as well in S. Calif. this week.
