It's why we always made really long pick lists this season, and include teams that we don't think we'll get. It's just to make sure nobody good slips by us. Usually, this just resulted in us crossing off a lot of things and ending up with what we expected to get, but once in a while it's helpful (*cough*4085*cough*crossroads)

I guess that had to do with a touch penalty or what role we could play (maybe we didn't show off our trussing abilities enough?), but the news left our team and head mentor (who had just spent three hours fixing our robot's transmissions ) Being left out of eliminations is tough.

Sorry, that would be us. 111 was 13th going into eliminations.
