Go to Post Is FIRST making it too easy?... yes they are making it easier than years past. But I would also say that does that matter? If students are still inspired to pursue more advanced designs and eventually a career in the technology sector we still have met our ultimate goal. - MikeDubreuil [more]

I felt so bad for him, he has to be one of the best human players in the country. Mark my words, keep your robot far away from him in Atlanta.

Yeah, I did too. But I was still glad to see the upset come to be. Nothing against 234 or 45, they are both awesome bots. But with them already going to Atlanta, I found myself rooting for the underdogs.

I was rooting for the upset too. We went down to be behind the drivers to support them. When they won the second finals match Molly from 292 screamed so loud and high I'm sure several glasses broke When they won the last match Ben from 1024 hugged me so hard I think he broke two of my ribs.
