David,

Calm down. You were supposed to have fun, not be all mad at everybody. Teams have the right to choose whomever they want. Instead of fuming about not being picked for finals, concentrate on all the wonderfulness of the opportunities you were given, and the experiences you had in preparing for the competition.

Those of us who are fortunate to live in such a good place, and to be part of an organization like FIRST need to step back every once in awhile and really appreciate the fun, the hard work that is so rewarding, the engineers who mentor the kids, the wonderful parents doing all the right things, the excitement created by the fabulous Pontiac Central Chiefs. did you see all the smiling faces Saturday?

By the way, congratulations on making it to 6th place. That in itself is an accomplishment. We made it to 5th place, then got ourselves knocked right out in the first 2 matches by the awesome Teams #111 (Wildstang) and #71 (Hammond). What a dream team they were, eh?
