Highest Seed not Chosen for Finals

[jeremy562]

562 was seeded 12th in Manchester and not picked. We were shocked, since we were very productive throughout the competition, never tipped over, never broke down, and had some good matches with some of the higher seeded teams. Our record was 6-2-1 (that tie really hurt our rank), with the 2 losses coming in matches where one of our alliance members was broken.

At least we got into the very last match as a substitute for 175 (their robot took a beating and it's a testament to their design that it lasted as long as it did), which we unfortunately weren't able to win -- another robot in our alliance couldn't move, and our other partner accidentally committed a 30 point penalty.

We've decided that we need to be more visible next year -- our performance on the field obviously isn't enough! Keep an eye out next year for the team with blue hair.
