Re: Silicon Valley Regional Thank-Yous

SVR was a fantastic comp and a real eye opener for my team. They now have a true appreciation for what it's like to play with the Big Dogs. It has inspired them to become better. Thank you all, especially 254, 971 and 766. You made SVR a truly memorable experience!
Winning the Judges award this weekend lifted the spirits of my team more than I could have imagined. When our turret blew off in QF1.1, we had clearly stated to them that they just needed to keep going, we had nothing to loose. So they did. Then in QF1.2, we again nailed both Autonomous shots.... with a now locked down turret! From that point on it was all defence. Sadly, it was not enough to overcome to powerhouse #1 alliance of 254, 971 and 766. Regardless, we love the fact that we never caved in and finished with style.

Thank you all and congratulation to 254, 971 and 766. You made SVR a truly memorable experience!
