I think you have all the right in the world to be dissapointed, I don't think anyone wants to come home with anything less then the national championship and that is the way I think it should be. I think 204 teams should be atleast a little dissappointed that they didn't win. I'm dissapointed that my team didn't win it all even though we seeded first. The score board crashing was a big problem, if I had time i was going to look at the teams that were in the top 25 and go talk to there team but with the scoreboard down i just didn't have the time. I remember reading a couple messages back that someone said something pertaining to FIRST isn't about winning and I'd like to agree and disagree with that. I do agree that winning is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that kids learn about engineering, technology and teamwork, but I don't help out for a grueling 6 weeks to lose, Everytime our robot goes out I'm happy that it is out there and I marvel at the accomplishments that my team made, but they when that buzzer sounds for the next two minutes all i can think about is winning that match. It was a great honor for my team to be the number one seed, but I would of came in 16th if it meant we won the championship. But hey this is just my opinion. Thanks for listening
