I feel kinda bad for the people that got stuck with a 'plywood box' or somebody who could just drive. The reason why we got to be the number one seed is because we got partnered up with great robots in ever round except one. Our robot is a good robot but there is no way we are the number one seed if we don't get allianced with the teams we did( Thanks Wildstang, Woodside high, X-Cats for our 3 highest rounds)but if we get allianced with someone esle I don't know if we get those scores. That's why I think the National competition needs to be only the elite teams that go to the regionals and have a good robot. If A plywood box cost my team a chance to make the top 16 or make it into the finals, I would not be a happy camper and also it's not in the spirit of the game to lose cause the robot at the national competition, which is suppossed to be the best of the best, costs you a match because they don't work. It is about being there and about having fun but it is about being competitive and having a working robot. I commend the team for trying but I just don't think that is far to the teams that had to play with them. If My team was just a box of plywood I wouldn't show up at the nationals, I think it makes a mockery of what this competition is trying to do. It is a competition and when it comes down to it in the end it is about winning. I'm not saying winning is the most important thing because it is not, being there with a working robot and putting in the months and years of working on the robots and fundraising to get there is a tremendous part of it. Plus learning about engineering and making long lasting freindships are the most important part of it. But you can't me for all the work everyone puts in to this great program that people don't want to win. I worked harder this year then any other year and if we just sat there for each round or barely moved or what not I'd feel bad that my team cost some other team the chance to win because of our robot. I'm sorry if I offend people by saying that but this is the way I feel. What do people get out of having a plywood box.

Kuli
