What FIRST is all about

From what I heard, something very similar happened with the #1 seed(4464) at the Washington DC Regionals. Even more remarkable, 4464's driveteam consisted of students from 1885 ILITE Robotics that didn't stop their dedication to helping the new rookie even when they ended driving against their own team and eliminating them in the quarterfinals.

Small correction: 4466, The Robohamsters, were the tiny team that ILite helped and went to the finals as a second pick. 4464, Team Illusion, was the #1 seed, and although still a rookie, actually extended help to other teams, and shared their build space with team 614 this season after team 614 lost their funding. The Washington Regional, as well as being the most exciting round of eliminations I have ever seen, had some extraordinary displays of Gracious Professionalism.

It was indeed 4466 at Washington DC. Not only did they reach the finals, but thanks to 79, 379, and 2415 already having qualified, received a wild card bid to compete at Championship. They played some great defense to help the #2 alliance reach the finals, and had a good shooter as well (that unfortunately wasn't at 100% for the eliminations).
