Re: WI Regional

I want to thank our alliance partners 2826 & 2702.

I knew on Friday afternoon that if we could get the #1 seed, the eliminations would be easy. Why? Because I knew that there was no chance another alliance could bring as much offensive firepower as us and 2826 partnered together. 2826 was an impressive tube scorer all day Friday (except for match #12, but who's keeping track) and exploded with 9 tubes in a single match late in the afternoon. Couple that with a consistently fast minibot and you've got the makings of a #1 pick. The choice was easy. Of course you didn't disappoint in the elims. You reliably scored 5+ tubes each match.

2702 was a steal with the 16th selection of the draft. I can't believe that 7 other alliances passed up a robot that consistently scores high in autonomous, is easily capable of scoring 3-4 tubes a match, and can execute strategy to perfection. You were just what we needed to round out the alliance. We all owe a big thanks to the tipster who gave us the heads up on your team.

It was a great event. Thanks to everyone who organized and worked it.
