You all are just so incredibly nice and wonderful to talk to.
Your drivers are absolutely amazing at what they do, and the fluid motion that comes out of your robot is simply stunning. Team 16 swerve is an amazing inspiration to watch.
Your mentors and on field pit crew were an absolute blessing. Managing to reprogram our autonomous to work and fire off two discs over a lunch break must have been a piece of cake for you, as you finished all of this before I even finished my hot dog. Thank you so much for adding this to our robot, and our programmers learned a lot from working with you all. Also, thank you for assisting us with fixing the support to our shooter.
Finally for Team 16, I would also like to apologize that my defensive driving was simply not up to par for those semifinals matches.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We had a lot of fun working with y'all and 1939 through the elims.
To be clear, the 2410 programmers did all the work to get the autonomous going. We were just pushy enough to make it happen. We knew those were 8 important points, and y'all came though like we knew you could.
Please no apologies for elims. Y'all did what you needed to do. We just didn't deliver with the shots.
And to everybody, please remember to thank the good people over at 3612 for this event as well. They are a 3rd year team, and already doing amazing work at the Rumble and now Razorback.
Let's hope we can move into Bud Walton next year for this thing! Although Barnhill wasn't bad, there really isn't any place to grow. Thank goodness we were able to grow just a little bit to accommodate the last minute teams this year. The event wouldn't have been the same without them.
