(3137 & 4797 looked like they could score, but were willing to play some very tough D to get a regional win.) Good luck at the Championship, and let us know if you have any advice for a Championship rookie.

Shout out to P.R.I.D.E. (3171) for picking a great #7 alliance. We loved playing with you guys and O-bots (4122)!

FIRST Team 3171, Hurricane P.R.I.D.E. would like to thank and congratulate our #7 alliance partners, The Harlem Knights (1660) and The O-bots (4122) on a great run all the way through to finals. Congratulations to Team 1660 on their Chairman's Award win, and congratulations to 4122 on the Inspiration In Engineering Award. We wish you both the best in St. Louis. Congrats to 694, 3137, and 4797 on their win, with a huge thank you to 3137 for helping us with our bot. We can't wait to compete with you guys at SBPLI. We'd like to thank Team 353 for their support and friendship. Finally, it was great working with Team 4713 in getting their robot ready for their next match! Good Luck Teams! On a final note, we hope Team 694 has an easy time with getting their photon cannon reset! - By the way, we love it.
