It's not corny at all, you are exactly right. There is a time to move on, it's just longer for me then most people. I am dissappointed that we didn't win but in no way would I change the good time I had that weekend. The emotion that goes into this competition is more then anything else I have ever done. I am dissapointed but as you said, we didn't lose, none of the teams that got there and had a working robot are losers, they all did something that most people will never get a chance to do, I'm proud of everyone that was there for putting in the time and effort that they did, I've done this for 4 years and it gets tougher and tougher each year( I have the utmost respect for you for doing this for 8 years and still going strong). And I'm probably be over my disappointment when my team gets to the rumble. And then if we don't win that then I'll be dissapointed again, but just cause I might be disappointed it won't stop me from having a good time. And in the end I'll get over it, I always tell myself there is always next year. I hope after 8 years I feel the way you do, I totally agree that I have to get over my disappointment. On a ligher note, I just want to say thank you to the X-Cats, when my team started our first year, the X-Cats were one of the teams that I looked up to because you guys showed us how to be gracious professionals in everything we did. I remember after my first year, Team 191 was my favorite team because they showed me what FIRST is all about.
