Your team set the bar for us this year, and inspired us. It was a priveledge to play with and compete against the Robowranglers and we hope to be able to make it to that level again in the future. Thank you for setting the bar - in so many ways.

Best regards,

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the very kind words. You guys have a fantastic team and were certainly playing at a high level last weekend.

We really enjoyed our qualification match together, and enjoyed our QF showdown (less so).
I promise we'll make it harder for you next year.

Please pass along my compliments to the rest of your team!

-John

PS - Love the team name & image...
