I want to apologize again for how things turned out, I wish we could have had you one the field for all of the eliminations.
I agree- 2461 put up a tough challenge for our defender in the QFs. I was amazed at the closeness of all the elimination matches. It made for a very exciting Saturday afternoon.

Up Next 3528 extends our congratulations to the winning alliance as well. During our scouting meetings, we were guessing that Texas Torque was snatch up 1421, but we were holding out hope that they would be available when our turn came around.

Instead we were privileged to form an all-Missouri alliance with 3284 and 1764. We felt 3284 was one of the most consistent robots all weekend and you held us up when we were not at our best. 1764's lunchtime transformation helped keep these matches close, but Spectrum and company put on an amazing performance and we just couldn't shake them off.

A huge congratulations to team 2080. I would love to watch your Chairman's video in full length. I caught bits and pieces of it playing as we were leaving the arena. It was great to see the excitement on your team members faces as the MC was reading your team's description.

Thank you to all the Arkansas teams who were such gracious hosts. What we first thought would be a simple, relaxing regional turned into some of the best robotics I have witnessed. Meredith and company, I hope you spend the next couple of weeks resting up before Champs.

We were so honored to be awarded the Engineering Inspiration award as a 3rd year team. The competition was tough as everyone has such amazing outreach programs. After losing in the QFs, I really thought we would be watching the Championship in front of a computer screen.

See you in St. Louis!
