Thanks for the vote of confidence. We've been a victim of some bad luck in some rounds. Of our four losses:

-One partner with no robot
-One partner that no-showed entirely
-One partner that was inoperable for part of the match

The fourth loss saw us just plain outgunned. I can live with that.

It's been a learning experience, particularly since none of the kids have ever competed at a proper regional before. (Most of the mentors have no such issues--I think we're well over 20 years of combined experience.) We've adapted to our small numbers and inexperience; while I don't have scoring down to the ball for teams, I believe our outfit has a finger on the pulse. We'll see whether we were right tomorrow at lunch.
