Re: 2013 Battle at the Border

Despite logistic issues on our end, 399 enjoyed the event. BATB is always a very well run event and we are glad to take our rookie members to this competition.

We'd like to thank the following entities:

Event Hosts teams 1538 The Holy Cows and 2485 W.A.R.Lords. Thanks for hosting the event for the third year in a row. I'm always impressed at how well the event is run. Thanks to 2485 and Francis Parker for being a great venue for an offseason event and thanks to 1538 for webcasting and recording the event. It meant a lot to our members, mentors, and fans back home to be able to see us compete live and for us to share match memories with everyone.

Pit neighbors and eventual alliance partners team 696. Thanks for lending our B team a computer to use for a few matches. This was invaluable in the process of working the electrical and software kinks from the robot.

Eliminations alliance partners to our A team(399) 2493 Robokong and (9)696 Circuit Breakers B. It's always a pleasure to work with Robokong. They're a great program with solid drivers and solid strategy and we hope to work together again in the future. Congratulations on your highest rank ever as #5 alliance captain. Thanks to (9)696 for rounding out the alliance. Extremely solid bot from a great team. Your increasingly well designed and performing robots are an inspiration to our team.

Eliminations alliance partners to our B team(9399) 3476 Code Orange and 2485 W.A.R.Lords. After many years of competing on the opposite side of the field as you, it's a pleasure to finally work together. Words cannot express our gratitude for your selection of our B team rookie bot for eliminations. Both of you have been inspirations to everyone on our team and it was a beautiful thing to see our robots together. It was an honor and inspiration to work with a division winning and a regional winning team. Robots aside, you were both very easy and fun to work with. Congratulations and thank you to two of California's newest perennial powerhouses.

Finalist teams 1538 The Holy Cows, (9)973 Greybots, and 4470 TiGears. These were among the most exciting finals matches I've been involved in. Going into the finals, we knew it was not going to be a cakewalk. Your dynamic and well-executed strategy supported that.

Semifinalist teams (8)973 Greybots, 696 Circuit Breakers, and 4322 Clockwork Oranges. These semifinals were insanely close. We were on our toes until the final score was announced.

And special thanks to Mark Liu for taking photos of the event as well as the volunteers for ensuring the event ran smoothly.

Thanks again, hope to see most of the teams at the various SoCal regionals this spring.

This was the final offseason competition for Team 399: Eagle Robotics, but not the last for one of our robots
