we picked you guys at the peachtree regional, and when we didnt make it past the semi-finals, i really pitied you guys. at that point you weren't going to be going to the georgia dome, and the season was supposed to be over for you. I'm really glad you guys your chance to compete at the nationals with your truly amazing robot. I wish i would have been able to see your 4 webcams, and extra processor in action also. Again, congratulations on building such a truly amazing robot!

The real thanks go to our other district teams, and our mentors. 1379 nurtured us in our infancy and adolescence, and 1261 definitely saved us here and there this year.

HUGE kudos go to our mentor Martin Wilson from Meggitt Training Systems for teaching us so much about pneumatics and vacuum pressure. I think this was a huge eye-opener for many people around the country in FIRST, naysayers about suction and pneumatics.

Congrats to all teams (but my personal favorite had to be 27, all decked out in the Maize and Blue).

I behalf of team 1261, North Gwinnett's neighbors, I would like to congratulate team 1771 for winning the award. This is only a small piece of what is to come in the future. North Gwinnett High School is excellent in everything they attempt and their robotics team is no exception.

A great deal of thanks goes to Mr. Wilson, our mentor as said earlier. Without him we definitely wouldn't have had such a great vacuum gripper and shooter. He taught everyone on the team so much about vacuums and pneumatics it is unbelievable.

I can't wait for next year and the even more successful robot that is bound to come from team 1771.
