Thank you thank you! Our team had a really rough start to the year [our total funds last November were about $2000, and we were expecting we wouldn't be able to afford a regional], so it means so much to all of us that we had such a great season. We have a tiny [9-student, 4-mentor] and underfunded team, and it is nice to be enthusing over a regional with some of the big-league teams here on the West Coast.

A big congrats to Skunkworks as well! As usual you guys are an inspiration: someday I hope to mentor a team as successful and well-designed as yours. We appreciated that you published so much of your scouting data. Hope to see you in St. Louis!
