I normally wouldn't have pointed something out like this, but in light of the implications of the original poster I felt that someone needed to point out the outstanding abilities of these students, despite of claims/implications to the contrary.

It would be great if we could recognize every student in this program, but thankfully not every team needs their reputation boosted a bit after being tossed baseless insults in a public forum like 217 was tonight.

That makes more sense now, I completely understand your defense of these students, the thunder chicken students do get bashed every year as do yours. Must get old having to point it out every year to anonymous posters though...

I unfortunately forgot to do so beforehand, so let me take the time now to applaud the drive, dedication, and intelligence of every team member of 1114, 217, and the other IFI teams who spent many hours perfecting their robot. Furthermore, I would like to thank the mentors for each of those teams, as it is by those same qualities that you have shaped such successful 'dynasties'. I look forward to playing Breakaway with all of you at Championship, and continuing to learn from you all in years of mentoring to come.

I'm telling you guys,

everyone's just jealous of the cowboy and chicken motifs, not the robots. [/comic relief]

But really, can there be a part in CD registration that requires a team number or team name please?

...Or any other ideas to prevent idiotic & arrogant posters from making false accounts?

I'm not so sure that would solve the problem because they'd probably just make up a team or use some other teams number/name.

Is there anyway the posts or accounts can be deleted though? I can't see how that post has done any good or done anything other than anger members and take away from the original thread's intentions.
