Congrats to 1721!
 

[Before I go into my congratulations, I owe a big thank you to a very special member of team 97 named Adelaide- I stopped participating in FIRST after my high school team was disbanded junior year. Now I'm a college freshman who has no excuse for not being involved, which Adelaide reminded me of by inviting me to the BAE regional. I'm happy to report that after those few hours today, I consider myself a full-fledged FIRSTer again. =D]

That said, I want to send out a big congrats to team 1721 for receiving the Rookie Inspiration Award. I was thoroughly impressed with only the quick overview they gave me of their bot. Plus they were a very friendly team and exhibited a lot of the subtle qualities of gracious professionalism that make FIRST so amazing. They truly desereved the award, and I look forward to great things from them in the future.

So no pressure, guys. ;)
