disappointment loss at san diego regional

[Steve_Alaniz]

I empathize with you on being disappointed but let me point out that you are not considering the opposing alliance. They too want to win but you must win fairly and according to the rules. Think how they would have felt if they lost because the referees gave you a 1/16" bonus. Insignificant as that seems it DID determine the winner.
I think this is where FIRST teams shine most. When we take a disappointing loss and take a deep breath and congratulate the winners for a great performance. It doesn't make it any easier but just as you'd like them to acknowledge your victory, bitter as it is you can't take away from them in theirs....
(That being said let me just also say... I HATE TO LOSE!...but I seem to be becoming an expert at it...) The real world is a maddening place!
Sometimes you kick their bot and sometimes they kick yours.
Better luck in the future!
