Thank you to 469 for being great partners. You guys worked all weekend to get your robot in working order. We knew it would be ready to go by Saturday afternoon. We have had some epic battles at the highest levels, but haven't played with each other in way too long.

On a side note: Its amazing how quickly students and mentors from different team can instantly become friends by just competing together with each other. Winning just takes that another level higher. 469 and 2851 have been added to the list of HOT friends.

To 2851, I'm not sure how you were available to us with the 24th pick. I figured we had forgotten to cross you off the list...but you were actually there. Total steal of the draft. You guys did everything we asked of you and were the perfect partners for the strategy we were trying to execute.

To 3098, 573, and 3601 you were great competitors. The double balance was amazing. It's awesome when both alliances are cheering and smiling together at the end of a Finals match.

Finally, I'd like to thank all of the alliances that decided to get on the Coopertition bridge with us. We entered Waterford with a goal to maximize our coopertition points, regardless of winning matches (although we wanted to do both). We sometimes dedicated 60sec of match time to properly balance the bridge. I think we were 11 for 12 on the bridge. With the one miss having our agreed upon team die on the field and us communicating to another team through the glass to get on the bridge. Unfortunately, they had not gotten the directions on how to balance with us. This just shows how incredible the FiM community is!
Thank you Adam. Speaking on behalf of Crevolution, it was an honor and a privilege to compete by both yours and the Las Guerillas sides. We will see both of you at Troy...along with some other small name teams .
