My favorite moment of the season was watching 2415 seeding 1st on the Archimedes division and making it to the division finals, and their alliance even pushed it to a rubber match. It was just awesome to see such an amazing performance by a local team whose performance has inspired many in our area.

I was extremely excited to see 1477 go all the way this year. It made me happy to see the team we've allianced with often since as far back as 2009, and in 2013 partner up twice, take their opportunity and struggle all the way through a ton of rubber matches to take home the Championship.
I always cheer for any Texas team (I was throwing a fit in the Galileo semifinals because I was like hmm...118 and 1477?) but at the same time, I was glad Texas Torque got the recognition they have because I think people know now there are plenty of great Texas teams beside 148 and 118.
It's just a good feeling when teams around you do well and continue to inspire you to stay in FIRST and do amazing things, I think I'm really lucky to live within 45 minutes of both 1477 and 118.
On a side note...Peachtree was one of my favorite regionals. Full size practice field, really nice venue, and everyone was really nice and helpful, besides being filled with very good teams.
