This is a silly metric for comparison. You are being far, FAR too kind.
There were a number of GREAT teams at the Dallas event last weekend, including the ones Andy listed (and many more he didn't).

Our students and robot performed great, but there was nothing about our play which I would describe as "dominant".
We had a lot of things go our way, which easily could have gone the other way. We were fortunate to work with great teams all weekend, and of course had the opportunity to partner up with two AMAZING teams in the eliminations.

As they say... I'd rather be lucky than good any day (especially Saturdays).
I'm just proud that we functioned well as a team, and that our focus on iteration helped drive improvement over our Alamo robot performance.

This was one of the toughest, deepest, most talent filled regionals I've attended.
I'm excited to see how this trend continues in 2015!
