Dealing with disapointments

I'm not afraid to speak out and admit that I get jealous and disappointed about outcomes of certain things. I keep telling myself that going 5-2-0 and proving our worth on Galileo is a pretty good way to end off the year, but I can't shake myself from a certain sense of disappointment. I of course know that there were awesome teams way better than us who got overlooked in Atlanta and weren't selected (example: 20), but for me, losing or not being selected is tough to deal with. I wanted to get a few words of advice or encouragement from some mentors out there, especially the big guys out there. Not generic stuff like analyze what can be improved for the next year, but something a bit more personal would be nice, I took this as a big hit to my morale and I can't fully understand why even though I know that its not the robot that matters in this competition.

Thank you to anyone who can help me get out of a little bit of a disappointed mood.

By the way, Rich Kressly and John Neun, you are friggin awesome, great machines and great to meet you.

2nd edit: anyone have close up pics of 973's Raptor, that thing was such a beast, I only got distanced fuzzy shots of it in action. Thanks.
