What an awesome event! We won't forget it anytime soon, as we had Kinect working for 8 pt. autonomous and massive bridge balances. Thanks go to 2177 (Robettes), 2512 (Duluth East Daredevils), 111, 2225, 2220, and anyone else we may have missed for excellent double balances, and to every alliance partner for being excellent and easy to work with. Congratulations to 111, 2512, 4266 for an amazing show in the finals. The #2 alliance had an excellent autonomous program. And the #5 alliance, as the overwhelming crowd favorites, gave us the best matches of the day. I loved it all (and we seeded 20 places better than last year).

However I have one major concern about the northstar venue as a whole: While traffic flow has improved from last year with the addition of a walking lane in the front rows, one entrance only creates a needless traffic jam and makes some pits much less accessible.
