I would really like to thank the event staff at Troy. It was a very exciting and well run event which has almost become an expectation.
I would like to thank the inspection staff for efficiently getting all the robots inspected. There were very few follows needed thank in part to your diligence.
MJ, thanks for keeping us organized in the pits. Another fantastic job, and be sure to thank your students that helped as well. I think next year we need to pack a sign that says "<-Pit Admin".
Tim in spare parts, thanks for helping us keep those bots running.
Rob and Field crew, thank youf or working through the bugs and getting the field to work. I also appreciate all the heads up you guys give on issues you are seeing.
Emily of 2337, thank you for helping our new Rookie friends with their wiring. I know you had a lot of duties on the comp team, but really appreciate you digging in and helping that team out. Hopefully they take you up on your offer for the workshops next year.

Congratulations to 469, 245, and 4377 on a well fought victory. I wasn't sure that you guys would be able to overcome the offensive potential of the #1 alliance, but you guys were phenomonal. I can't wait to pay with/against you guys soon. (469, we will see at Bedford, and 245 we will see you again at MSC).

3539, 67, and 4810. What a high scoring alliance. you guys were the closest to Mi finally breaking the 200 barrier that seems to be elusive this year. I can't begin to describe how much all 3 have improved from their first event. 4810, you guys continue to impress me with your scoring, but your next big growth opportunity is to learn how to play elims as an alliance member. 67, it was great to see the climber working, and I can't wait to see you guys fully dialed in at MSC. 3539, you guys were realy good at Waterford, but WOW did you come back strong for Troy. Get ready for some tough defense at MSC.

217, congrats on a well deserved EI. You folks certainly are an inspiration to the community, and thank you so much for the machine shop support you guys bring to competition. I know a lot of teams utilize this shop for critical repairs.

Last, but certainly not least 2337. Congratulations on Chairman's. Your efforts the past few years have done so much towards improving not only your team, but the Michigan FRC community. It is really neat to see the teams that have attended your workshops do so well this year.
