Our last-minute attempt to give 5666, a team we knew well (from working under 1923's wings all build season), a way to contribute to the alliance and get a shot at MARCMP, was a result of both 1923 and 869 working together with 5666 to see if they could make something work.

Sorry that it wasn't perfect, but I don't think it's appropriate to call anyone, especially a rookie team, laughable. I think coming home with Rookie All-Star proved they're a pretty fantastic bunch of kids.

They learned a lot from the playoff experience, so I consider it a success.

I didn't mean to degrade anyone's effort. That was not my intention. I also didn't call out any particular team number in my comment. Full disclosure I discussed how ludicrous the hook on 3340 looked in its first match saying to a mentor on my team (who helped them install it) that it reminded me of the hook you'd see in a movie to drag someone off of a stage.

Again, I apologize if my comment came off too brash.

It's all good - I get it, but I'm also defensive of them by nature... I remember when 1923 was made fun of by other teams at NJ when we were rookies, and I'd just have hated for them to see that exchange without your background.

Ours looked like a terrifying angry scythe. I think I'd take the Vaudeville Hook instead...

Thanks Stephen, can't wait to see you there! Congrats to your team for making it to Champs again. 75 is so honored to receive this award, and we couldn't be more happy to represent MAR at Champs with all the other well-deserving teams.
