I just want to say congratulations to this team and all who helped them...

AND...

I want to publicly post an apology from my team 237 for "beating" on their robot during a practice match on Thursday. In the alliance stations that first practice day, our driver wanted to try and block a team. Unfortunately they did not hear about this team's plight and chose them to try and see if we could block them. This unfortunately led to a shoving match against the "one day" bot and had a few teams asking why we "beat" on them.

Again, we are sorry for this - my whole team in the stands were yelling at our drivers to stop, but they did not hear at first.

Sorry for any harm this may have caused the robot or the team who was so much down on their luck so to speak.

And thanks to this team, for it proves that scouting is never done.. If we had gone against this team for a bio of the robot from a previous competition, then we would have been shocked on Friday and Saturday when we went against them..
