All I can say is wow, what an emotional roller coaster this weekend has been for 1592/801. I cannot convey in words how thankful I am to all the teams that helped us nor can I remember all of them as it was a hectic weekend. Hard to imagine right? Sorry if I miss your team, but all the help was appreciated.

744- Thank you for switching pits with us. With out being able to be right next to 801, it would have been really hard to accomplish what we did.

180- Thank you for all of your help and assisting in testing components for us. We were not sure what survived the crash and what did not. Whether it was motors or speed controllers, you were right there to help us out. Bryce was in our pit more than he was in his own on Thursday, which truly shows how deserving they were of the Gracious Professionalism award.

1251- Thanks for helping us test out our components as well and all of the offering of help throughout the weekend. Even though you were having some troubles of your own, you stepped up to the plate and asked us if we needed anything. You even offered us the use of your van the night of the crash.

1902- Thank you for the help at the crash site as well as offering us your kitbot frame. You even took us to your build space and offered us anything we needed.

The Robo Show Staff- Thank you for coming to the crash site to help
us move the robots into the trucks. We greatly appreciate how you waited for 3 hours for FHP to show up.

125- It was very gracious of you to offer us your full shooter assembly; fortunately we were able to salvage one of the damaged ones. You guys were awesome all weekend.

Sorry if I missed anyone, but as I said it was a very busy weekend.

To cap it all off, being an alliance captain was surreal after what happened Wednesday night, much less than on the same alliance with 801. I really thought we had a shot.

Lastly, I want to say thank you to 86 for saying yes to join our alliance. I am sorry we were not running at 100%. We were a fierce alliance coming out of the number 7 slot - just imagine if we all actually worked at the same time lol.

Again, thank you so much to everyone at the Orlando regional and the FIRST community for your support. We all consider this weekend a victory for every team that was there even though we got knocked out early. All I can say is we have a lot of work to do in two weeks to get back up to 100%. Look out Alamo here we come.

Thanks Again to all from teams 801 and 1592,
Zac
