Wow without a doubt this has been the most exciting competition I have been a part of. Our expectations for the weekend were blown away by what happened!

Thank you to our truly amazing alliance partners 1678 Citrus Circuits and 148 Robowranglers!

1678 you guys earned a well deserved #1 seed and your alliance selection strategy was brilliant! You assembled a very well balanced alliance between your floor pick up 148's FCS and our cycling and defense. Thank you for having faith in our abilities and selecting us (we were getting very nervous that we would go un-selected). And thank you for sticking by us after two technical problems in QF1-1 and QF1-2, I feel terrible were were unable to help in those matches.

148 you guys were an amazing full court shooter, not to mention that climb (scary but effective)! Getting to work with you guys was a true honor your level of preparation, strategy, gracious professionalism are truly inspiring! We learned a lot from you guys on what it takes to make it through a Championship elimination tournament.

A huge thank you to all the individuals who came to help try to diagnose and fix our control problems in the quarterfinals, I didn't catch names but I know there were several guys from California teams as well as from 148.

To all of our opponents in the eliminations 103, 4564, 2168, 2056, 967, 3990, 4814, 1918, and 67 you were all extremely strong alliances it was an honor to play against you all.

As for Finals 1 I really don't know what to say. Watching the video posted above we did clearly drive over 1918's collector. I say this with all my heart that we are truly sorry about that, this was NOT an intentional move, we honestly couldn't see their collector there. It was an error on our part and as coach I take full responsibility for it. Thank you to 1918, 67 and 4814 for being so gracious after the indecent I hope you will accept my deepest apologies for this happening.

1918 you guys are an amazing team, twice this year you have given us a run for our money in the finals, first at West Michigan then on Curie.

67 as always you produced an absolutely amazing machine! You guys are a team I been in awe of my entire time in FRC. Adam thanks for your kind words above, it was truly a pleasure to play against you in the divisional finals!

4814 an amazing job by an amazing rookie team congratulations on all your success and good luck next season!
