Re: BattleCry@WPI 14 - Reg Open 2-Apr 1200

What an exhausting but amazing weekend at BattleCry! Considering we weren't even attending the event until Tuesday, and weren't aware we were competing until late Wednesday, we were thrilled with our performance. It was great seeing familiar friends and making new ones. Thanks to our alliance partners, 3326 and 3182 for some great matches, and especially to 3326 for getting their climbing arm fixed so quickly after that spectacular fall in the eighth finals.

An extra special shout-out to team 228, Gus. If it wasn't for you guys lending up a compressor, we wouldn't have even been playing on Saturday after our compressor broke from some, uh, lets say spirited defense by team 166 (who were gracious enough to come help us fix it as well) in our last match Friday. When a team you eliminated last weekend at the CT Championships steps up to lend you a compressor the next - well, that's what FIRST is really supposed to be all about, isn't it. You guys get it. You always have. And you're a real example for other teams to follow.

To the winners, especially our friends at 195 - congrats on a well-deserved and hard-earned victory. And thanks for the shout-out earlier on this thread. We'll see you in Wolcott in a few weeks

Finally, 2168, we were a heartbeat away from working with you guys for the first time this year. It would have been epic. But there's always Bash at the Beach! And good luck at Beantown!
