The DiscoBots 2587 had a great time as well. Thank you to the event staff who did an excellent job all weekend.

Thank you to Team 2936 Gatorzillas and 3320 Miracles & Machines. That was one of the most intense elimination rounds I have ever been a part of. Having a minibot save us in the semifinals and then one beat us by one point (96-95) in the first match of the finals was just insanity. You both put together great robots and more importantly great teams and I would love to be on an alliance with either of you again.

Congratulations to the Regional Champions Teams 118 Robonauts, Team 1477 Texas Torque, and Team 1801 The Dapper Dans. You had a great alliance that played the game extremely well; it was a blast to play against you.

Special thanks go to Team 57 the Leopards. We had a gyro issue in our first semifinal match against them and we use completely closed loop gyro code to be able to control our drive train. Team 57 went to their pit and brought us their gyro from the kit of parts. We didn't actually need to install it but it was a great example of gracious professionalism. (We are still not sure what the problem was but we believe the gyro hadn't calibrated properly).

Congratulations are in order for Team 1429 - TEAM KAOS. They won both the Woodie Flowers Award and the Regional Chairmans Award. A fantastic team and example to all of FIRST.
