The Byting Bulldogs (3539) can really hold their own. In the Troy district elimination pairings I was shocked to see the poor 2nd seed rookie team (3539) pass up:
4th 217 -
the thunder chickens (district / regional winner twice this year)
5th 245 -
The adambots (district / regional finalist twice this year)
6th 33 -
The Killer Bees (District winner once this year)
to choose 7th seed 1718
The Fighting Pi (district semifinalist) and 2586.
What's more amazing is that they went three matches in the semifinals against the 217, 33 and 440 and beat them good.
Then in the finals they gave the 1st seeded team
2337,
469 (3rd seed team) and 3548 a run for their money. In the third match they lost but it could have gone either way.
When I went to look at how they've done in other competitions I realized they knocked my team out in the finals at the Waterford district.
Great job to 3539! and beware of some of those higher numbers.
FIRST is similar to real life in that nothing is perfect and you have to deal with the circumstances as they arise and make the best of it! - Sean_330 [more]
