I have to really thank the volunteers for the work they did to organize and pull off this event at a new arena. It's no easy task to plan and quickly morph a gym into a FRC arena. It's able to happen because we have world class volunteers here in MAR!

Throughout the tournament, we were trying to figure out how to make a completely offensive alliance and were so lucky to have been able to draft 2590 and 1640 (surprising to still be around). Both teams are class acts and I really hope for the best as they move on to compete in STL.

11, 222, and 1403, what a run you gave us. The strategy and play you all threw at us during the finals was tremendous. There was no safe place to shoot, no path without a bump, and you all were scoring like crazy. Then 1370 enters the mix and that same play didn't change. They are a great offensive robot that served the alliance well.

Congrats to 433 and 1218 on the Chairmans this year. You both are tremendously strong teams and will be awesome in STL. 1218, my students and mentors loved chilling with you all in the Chairman's display area. Good times!!

This was a big tournament for our team and 2729 is grateful to have been able to share the experience with everyone at the competition. If there's ever anything anyone needs, please let us know.

Thanks all and best of luck to everyone at the FIRST Championship!
