My first duty, anywhere in a FIRST competition, is to ensure that my students get the most of the competition. Only very rarely that does interfere with my alliance partners' ambitions and the desire to win each match. But my highest duty is to give every effort to my students to ensure they have the best experience possible.


And just so it's mentioned, 1712 did agree with our partners before that match on the strategy we chose. I'm not going to go through the entire strategy discussion, as I remember it, in this thread for many reasons, including the privacy of those teams' strategy processes.
