Congrats to team 67, 469, and 244 on a well deserved win.

244 - you guys played well, and fit right in such a great alliance.

469 - So much to say about this team....I will keep it short...AWESOME as usual.

67 - The name says it all.... HOT. Every year the question is asked, "What team has the best robot?" IMO for 2012 the answer is HOT. Simply Amazing. While your robot performance may arguably be the best in FIRST, it is shadowed by your graciousness and class on the field. For those of you who were not at Troy, after the first match of the finals, the Blue Alliance having used it's only timeout, needed to make repairs to one of our alliance members. We were about to call in the backup when the Red alliance called a timeout on behalf of blue. This type of action is the mark of a true champion and sets an example for all teams to follow.

Team 469 and Team 67 have been friends of ours for several years and I have always had the highest level of respect for both teams. I hope the opportunity to work with either of you presents it's self soon.


Best of luck in the events to come.
