The length of this compared to the negatives thread doesn't dictate how much FIRST has done right this year. FIRST has gone above and beyond previous years to ensure we have a great experience.

• Obviously Wild cards are one of the most well received things FIRST has ever done. Seeing championships and the competition level was just amazing
• The game. FIRST has knocked one out of the park again. It's exciting. It's engaging. It requires strategies and tradeoffs in design, and most of all, it's spectator friendly. Thank you GDC, for making this game so enjoyable
• Frank's blog and his openness has gotten rid of the black box image of HQ. Thank you for listening and showing us why hard decisions are made.
• The resources that FIRST has provided has allowed teams to go custom for much cheaper. Thank you again for all of these COTS vouchers.
