On behalf of Team 1241 THEORY6, I just wanted to thank everyone who had a part in making this event run so exceptionally well for a first week regional. Never has Canada had a first week regional, let alone one filled with many high caliber teams willing to compete. This proved to teach a lot and us here on 1241 are glad we could be a part of it. I just want to take a moment to congratulate Mr. Rob Stehlik for all his outstanding work. I am honoured to be able to call him a friend and we could not have been any happier when his name was announced as this year’s GTR-W WFFA winner.

I’d also like to congratulate Teams 1310, 610 and 5076, all of which earned their right to the championship. Thank you as well to our partners 2852 DM High Voltage and 3541 Bulls. We were excited to work with both of you and we hope to do it again in the future! Once again, thank you to all of 610 who not only built an amazing robot and won, you truly are a class act team one which everyone who knows you should try and emulate to be like. Special thanks go out to Mr. Lim for all his help up to and throughout the regional.

The only afterthought that I could leave to add value to the discussion is that efficiency is key. Those who have the most efficient alliance will do well, and everyone should have a specific role to fill while they have the ball or when they don’t. The successful teams will realize this early on and work to make that distinction clear.
