As others have said, the teams down on the field came together during the complications that were presented by Einstein. One moment in particular struck a chord with me…

After the competition was over and medals had been awarded to the Finalist alliance, a couple team members from 233 approached myself and another member of 2056 and attempted to give us their medals. These two students were crying as they tried to explain that they wanted to give us their medals. They stated that they felt they didn’t deserve to have the medals any more than we did and that it wasn’t fair for them to have them. It literally broke my heart to see these two in such shape. I myself was having a hard time keeping a level head in a moment where I was still trying to comprehend how the Finals had been allowed to continue.

To those two students on Pink, thank you for your generosity. What you did that day will stick with me longer than any Championship win ever could.
