It isn't glamorous -- it's HARD FUN and that's the true spirit of FIRST.

Thanks Mandrews! While not going to championships is disappointing, we really had a great season. We went from having to completely scrap our original design to being the number 4 seed and semifinalists. We have helped and inspired our community and other FIRST teams, and while we did not win an award for our work it was still worth it.
And now for some shout outs of my own:
4730: Working with you guys was a pleasure. Heading out of this competition i can tell that you have learned a lot and I believe you will become an amazing team. I hope you guys keep it up, and some day you will be helping a rookie team of your own.
1648: You guys had an amazing robot that we've been admiring since Palmetto. We really did not expect you to say yes to us during alliance selections, but we were glad you did. We came so close to making it to the finals!!!
3489: You were another one of our favorite robots, plus we enjoyed competing with a team as spirited and enthusiastic as you. After we were knocked out of eliminations, we were rooting for your alliance. Its great to have another South Carolina team going to championships. We wish you the best in St. Louis!
4452: Congratulations on the rookie all-star award. I know you guys have been through a lot, but despite all your setbacks you still succeeded. People always love to talk about the teams that can make the most points, or do everything on the field, but it is teams like you that truly inspire me. Good luck in St. Louis!
