Wow! That was a great event!

I have to thank a few teams: 1023, 2620, 123, 1025, 862 and 4390.

To team 1023: I've kept my eye on your team since week one, visiting your website, hoping to get a glimpse of what I expected to a great robot. You proved me right at Detroit by going undefeated. We were honored to select you and I was personally very intimidated by your robot. Thanks for working with us. You were the clear first choice for our team.

To team 2620: I don't know how you weren't selected earlier in the draft. There was no doubt in my mind that your team would be a valuable asset to our alliance. Our alliance's autonomous period was one to be reckoned with due to how well they worked together. It was the 12 points that you scored during autonomous in Finals match 1-3 that made us win. Thanks!

To team 123: A wonderful shooting robot that well deserved the place you got. But there's to your alliance than the results of the finals matches. On behalf of team 3322, we thank you for taking a timeout after the second finals match to allow our team to make some adjustments. Your team represents gracious professionalism in the most pure form. Thank you for your generosity. You clearly prove that your team is Chairman's Award material.

To team 862: It's great to see you in the finals again. I talked to one of your members about meeting in the finals during lunch and your alliance did just that. You guys are a force to be reckoned with your dead on fender capabilities. It was great to see you on the field again.

To team 1025: Your defense was very strong and if gave my team a scare at how well you played defense. Your robot is very unique and provided a great feeder to your alliance.

Finally, to team 4390: You were the only rookie at Livonia, but you were clearly worth the Rookie All-Star title. I have to mention your team as a deciding factor with making our team the #1 seed. Balancing the coopertition bridge at the very last second changed the mood of our team. We thank you for joining us at the bridge!
