[Alpha Beta]

Thank you St. Louis for putting on a fantastic regional. A special thanks to the FTA and his assistants who helped us with our intermittent communication issues. It would have been a very different weekend without your suport.

When I saw 14 rookies on the roster for the tournament I wasn't sure what to expect. By the time the qualification matches were over we had 6 of those rookies in our 24 team pick list, and were thrilled to get 4356 with our last pick in the draft. You were exactly what we needed in a robot that could travel to the other side and play defense as well as balance. I'm sure we could have triple balanced with you if the situation had called for it. Good luck at champs.

Congrats to 4256 on winning Rookie All-Star. Not only is your team well on it's way to developing a Chairman's worthy portfolio, but you're robot was of excellent quality as well. Those going to champs should note that this is no ordinary rookie. The bot can score with the best of them.

Thank you 1985 for joining us on our Regional Championship run. Your bot peformed even better than at KC, and your extremely high shooting percentage got our scouts' attention. With a Chairman's award and WFFA award to boot you guys are the total package, set up for continued success for many years to come.

1208, you are a worthy opponent. When we saw you pair up with 1288 we knew we would need our "A" game to pull off a victory. 2783 was a great pick as well, with their defense and full court shots. The 52 points you collectively put up in the semi-finals definetly got our attention.

1987, we couldn't be more thrilled to see you return to Champs. Your Engineering Inspiration award is well deserved, and your whole team is a pleasure to work with. Our website people are currently looking at your site for ideas on how to better communicate in that medium. Best website at two regionals in the same year is quite a feat. Congratulations.
