They definitely read the rules very literally.
469 is the most hated team in the FRC, but I'd be willing to bet that 469 gets to Einstein. However, I know that I'll be rooting for the other team no matter what.

How can you make such a statement? 469 is one of the most respected team in Michigan. They helped start many teams and helped them look for funding including ours. Their mentors spent a lot of time mentoring us in our rookie year. They gave us material and parts when we were in a rush. They opened their shop to us when we had to work on Sunday to finish our robot. They opened their full size field for us and many other teams to practice. And if you know the history of how this team get started, you would not have said what you said.
I suggest you take back your statement and stop bashing 469. They have an amazing machine which other teams considered building but were not successful. They are very smart in how they implemented it.
Please watch what you say on this forum unless you are not here to make friends, and 469 has a lot of friends.
