A truly excellent alliance won this weekend. After alliance selections, we viewed that #4 Alliance as extremely formidable. I'll say that I have very few memories behind the glass that were as exciting or purely as much fun as the three quarter finals matches against SPAM, Raider Robotix, and Bomb Squad on Saturday.

It took us an incredible amount of strategy and pure execution to be able to win our second match against that an alliance, and I see it as unfortunate that mechanical troubles forced our last match to be lost by such a wide margin. Still, I feel no regret losing in such a hotly-contested round to the new world champions. I would personally like to thank our fellow Michiganders 1718 and 1918 for asking us to join their alliance and keeping us perfect for appearances in the eliminations at our four Championships, and for playing hard for the win against the eventual Champions.

Congratulations to all three teams: Bomb Squad on winning the world championship that so many of us believed you were due, SPAM for finding, once again, and surpassing a similar level of success to what you have enjoyed in the past, and Raider Robotix for continuing your record of excellence and for winning your second World Championship.
