I'd like to second this apology. I'm pretty sure Storcky has the team number right; if not, whatever team it was will know we mean them. Myself and another student apologized in person when we were there, but it can't possibly hurt to reiterate. (We eventually gave our seats and the three we were saving to allow a little more room, and we went to sit with our friends from Buzz (thanks for temporarily adopting us guys, we appreciated it ))

I know saving seats isn't legal by the rulebook, but that is no call for anyone to be ungracious or unprofessional towards a team that saved seats, since there is never an excuse for it. I won't post the exact details of our chaparone's squabble with 772, mostly because I'm thoroughly embarrassed. It was very un-FIRST-like, and I hope I never see it again, especially from my own team. When my teammate and I apologized, the mentors from 772 assured us they didn't hold us accountable and were all-around very tolerant and mature about it. I was impressed and even more embarrassed by comparison. I hope they won't hold our team in a bad light because of that.
