It may be true that some people didn't like you guys. I will admit that, I for one didn't like you guys from the minute I saw your bot in Chicago. I assumed that you were out to destroy other bots and were not in the spirit of FIRST.

But my narrow minded thinking was changed after I starting talking on ICQ and made a friend (Who knows who he is and better not forget he owes me a coke, :-) LOL).
This friend was not at all what I expected a TechnoKat (let alone a TechnoKat Coach) to be like. I was expecting a horrible monster out to destroy the spirit of FIRST and to damage my teams poor defenseless bot. What I found was a fun loving guy who appreciates FIRST as much as anyone. He made me think about it from another point of view and I realized that they were just taking a different approach to the game.

So congradulations to the TechnoKats on a great year. I for one think you guys had some guts to go the route you did. You guys are great and I can't wait to compete against you next year.

P.S. Doesn't it seem odd to anyone else that a little bird would tell the TechnoKats of there 'reputation'? I thought Kats ate birds? Seems that I'm not the only one who changed his feathers about the Kats.
