Re: Ungracious professionalism at internationals?

I'm curious if any of the alliances that feel slighted would have selected 217 knowing what they know now? If no, then why feel slighted?

I find this situation particularly difficult since I can't think of a more appropriate course of action than what Paul took. If we had a robot that had broken prior to elims (and in our estimation couldn't be fixed) I'd sure let other teams know about it. If at that point someone picked us anyways, then at least the team made an informed decision. Who are we to give anything but our best when put in that situation?

Weird how good intentions can end up so distorted...
