1218 - What else is there to say? Our bots work together beautifully. Our robot may put up a high volume of balls, but you guys never miss with what is in my opinion THE most accurate shooter in FRC. You are the sniper rifle to our machinegun. A perfect match.
2559 - You guys really came through for us, helping to starve our opponent, bravely attempt the triple balance, and playing incredible defense in Finals Match 2. Congratulations on the win!
More thanks and congrats:
222 - What a great machine! You guys really pushed us in the Finals, and made sure the crowd got their money's worth. My favorite feature of your machine: that it sounds like you are firing an elephant gun with every shot you make 
365 - It is a shame that our robots never got to be on the field together (weird, considering it was a 37-team field with 12 rounds per team...) I guess we'll have to wait until Philly to find out what happens when our auto modes meet at midfield  As usual, your mobile pit crew was busy making sure all of the teams got everything they needed to compete. A true Hall of Fame team.
The Rookies - I have been extremely impressed with the crop of rookies at the first two MAR District events. 4342, alliance captain and Finalist, you guys are extremely impressive. 4373 is one of the nicest teams I have ever worked with behind the glass, and your bot played a big role in a lot of matches. 4035, also an extremely gracious team to work with. 3974, another great bot. 3929, what an unbelievably professional looking machine. It's a shame you only got to play in one playoff round!
All Volunteers - MAR is now 2 for 2 at the events that I have attended! Despite the new venue and lots of new faces, outside of a network-related delay on Friday afternoon we had very smooth sailing! I am very quickly being converted into a MAR believer |
As team captain of 2559, I would also like to thank 1218, Vulcan Robotics, for hosting such a GREAT event! I would also like to thank Ms. Daisy as well as Vulcan for choosing us as their alliance partners. This really means a lot to myself as well as my team members. I am sure many of the normal Philadelphia regional teams remember us as a box on wheels in 2009, but we definitely have come a long way. Our victory at the Chestnut Hill District Event could not have been possible without the help of two extremely awesome teams. My team and I never would have dreamed of being selected to play with the more well known and seasoned teams, in comparison to us, and will never forget what happened this past Saturday.
In the last round, those 70 some odd points would not have been scored without the help of your teams. You guys have great teams, awesome mentors, and phenomenal robots.
Thank you again for selecting us as your alliance partners, we will also be at the Lenepe District Event next Saturday. We look forward to working with both teams, both on and off the field, again in the future.
