: And I also think Delphi is another team that always builds a quality robot year after year..

Colleen,

Here I go being a picky engineer... but I can't let this one slide by.

There are 6 fully-sponsored Delphi teams. Also, Delphi co-sponsored 3 additional teams last year, bringing the total to 9.

By the way, last year was the first year since '97 that a Delphi team was not in the finals at Nationals. Get this:

'97 ChiefDelphi (47) was National Runner-up
'98 TechnoKats (45) win Nationals
'99 Team ELITE (48) win Nationals w/ 1 & 176
'99 TechnoKats (45) was Nationals Runner-up w/111 & 84

We all were watchin' the finals last year.

Next year, also keep an eye on the Delphi Knights (49), the Circuit Stompers (378), and Flint Southwestern (397).
