First, many thanks to 708 and all the volunteers for pulling off their second annual Week 1 district event! It's no small feat, and we're all very grateful.
Of course, congratulations to our friends Daisy, Nemesis and Wildcogs for an epic victory. You guys are a site to behold, and I'm a bit relieved Chestnut Hill won't be as stacked as this was! We would have loved a finals battle against you, but we know you would've completely cleaned our clocks. Also congrats to finalists 1143, 3974, 816! We thought we had you there for a minute, but apparently 3 broken shooters can only get us so far against such impressive scorers.
Congrats Vulcan on your second annual HH Chairman's Award. I suspect you'll keep getting those until you take the clock home, guys! And what an cool climb. Additionally, great job to all the award winners. (Side Note 1: jeez, this event is stacked. Side Note 2: I love how you really do get to know everyone with the district model.)
Many thanks to 486 and 272 for selecting us! I know the rounds were rough on your bots, but going 2-1 in the semis is still pretty beast! We really enjoyed working with you, including the hectic fixes--you've got some very good crews. And to Storm, 2539, and reigning-world-champs 25...that was a heck of a QF battle. Were any other elim matches just 1 point apart?

Add a passive 10 pointer during robot open access and you guys will be killer.

Thanks so much! Our driver will definitely be at the practice 'bot sticks a lot in the coming weeks. We're fighting to get the 30 point climber ready for Chestnut Hill, though if not we'll definitely be there with a quick 10.
