What an amzing weekend!

I was able to make the trip from Virginia Tech to see our robot in person for the first time.

The Chesapeake Regional never fails to have exciting eliminations, and this year was no different. I want to thank 714 for allowing us to join their alliance and 237 for completing the alliance. It was an emotional rollercoaster the entire time, and the better team won.

Congrats to 846 for the Engineering Inspiration Award. You guys were awesome pit neighbors!

Congrats to 768, for several different reasons. You guys are truely inspirational and deserve to win. Mr. Fred Needel on receiving the Woodie Flowers Award. I alway look forward to being next to your team in the pits.

Congrats to the winning alliance - 768, 1218, and 1699. The finals were amzing.

A special thanks to team 365 (GO MOE!). You guys are truely inspirational. Both of our teams spent countless hours working beside each other in the pits to help teams out. If we did not have the parts/experience required, I knew I could count on guys to help. Thanks again for laying out a great foundation for us to follow!

Thanks to all the volunteers! Thank you Steve Shade for heading up another awesome group of refs. I know what it is like to be the guy that has to deliver the "bad" messages, and you handled it very well.

A special thanks to Greg Needel, you are one of the best announcers out there. The whole Needel family is one to model after.

Thanks again to everybody! Hope to see everyone in St. Louis!
