Re: 2014 St. Louis Regional

Wow, what a great weekend! The St. Louis regional really kicked it up a notch this year and the eliminations were all very competitive. Thanks to all the volunteers that had us running ahead of schedule on both days! Almost unheard of in my experience.

First off, I'd like to thank teams 4028 & 1329 for joining our alliance and being great alliance partners. I felt really good about our alliance and we were definitely clicking in that first QF match; unfortunately we couldn't pull off the win in the 2nd or 3rd. You guys both have great robots and I wish 4028 luck at Queen City & 1329 luck at Boilermaker next weekend! Watch out for both of these teams, they were stellar in their first event of this season.

Great job to the number 2 seeded alliance of 4256, 1985 & 4330. We knew we were in for a tough fight against you guys, but I was happy to see you go all the way to the finals.

A big shout out to the number 1 seed for taking home the gold, especially team 1501 THRUST. Way to represent Indiana! I can't wait to watch the footage on our 1 point qualification match loss to you guys in match 80, that was a nail biter.

1706 & 931 - you guys have some really stellar robots, great job this year. It was a lot of fun to be able to play with both of you in the qualification rounds.

Lastly, I'd just like to thank everyone for the kind words this weekend. We felt this was our strongest competition performance to date and hope to keep the momentum rolling for next year.

Awards-wise, just for the record, we took home the creativity award, partially due to the heavy use of 3D printed parts on our robot.
