I just wanted to say that last Saturday my 7-year-old son screamed with excitement when I told him over the phone that "Daisy just picked us for their alliance!" I think I screamed too when it happened (I'm not sure 'coz I passed out).

The experience of being there was worth the 2 days of driving; but to be picked, even as backup, meant everything to our team. Thanks Daisy, and Thanks OP, for giving us that opportunity to be part of it.

Congratulations again to Brandon. I'm glad our teams get along, otherwise the bus ride would've seemed even longer. I hope we represented New England well.

Thanks and appreciation to all the mentors and coaches that talked with me; I got some invaluable information and plenty of ideas that will keep this team on the upward trend.

Congratulations to the champion alliance; no one could be sorry to see you guys win.

And a final thanks to Chris and the rest of the crew that put together the most amazing robotics competition on the continent.
