Re: 494........

I was not at the championship but did play with the Martians at Peachtree this year. The goal of an engineer should be to build a machine to accomplish a task and make it tough, easy to repair, modular, etc. I rememeber Woody at my first kickoff encouraging everyone to do one thing and do it well. The Martians certainly did one thing well - they built a robust machine! That should be the primary goal of every team out there. You can't play if you're broken. I only witnessed the Martians playing rough when they were played rough with. Don't try to give out what you can't take. My utmost respect and congratulations for team 494. Everyone else should take note - theirs is a GREAT team. In real life when a machine breaks (no matter what the cause) we ask ourselves: how can we make it better next time?
