On behalf of Team 781, I'd like to thank everyone for your sincere congratulations on our Chairman's Award win. The members of our team that worked on presenting the award worked so hard to get there all season long, and it's quite a feeling to see them (and the rest of the team, of course) become this happy. In place of the nervousness they felt when they were doing it along with the admirable Team 1241--Theory 6--was replaced with tears of joy. This was worth more than our upset last year at Queen City, more than our regional win in Toronto two years ago and even more than our World Finals finish that same year (don't take that as a team opinion, although I'm sure it's echoed by at least most of them).

A huge congratulations to 1114 and 2056 for their 20th and god-knows-how-many regional wins for them, respectively. Both of you are nothing short of amazing to see year after year, what with your stunning robots and inspiration to every FIRST team. 1114 is a Hall of Fame team for extremely good reason, and it wouldn't be surprising if I see another 4-digit team from Stoney Creek join them.

Thanks for another fun regional, and Team 781 will see you in Waterloo (if you'll be there)!

EDIT: And an enormous thank you to the group who made this regional possible, the volunteers. I'm not sure if Karthik was the chair this year like last year, but whatever he did do, he's obviously included in this thanks. Can't wait to see you MC at Waterloo! (James wasn't too bad either!)
