Smile Re: West Michigan District Competition

It was great competing in West Michigan once again. I would like to thank 494 the Marians for choosing us to be on your alliance. You guys were rock solid during the seeding and eliminations. 4956 you did your part as well. this game really emphasizes team work and using the abilities of each team.


Congrats to 1506 on the Chairman's award and our friends 2771 on the Engineering Inspiration award and 4956 on the rookie all star award,.

The depth of good robots was something to behold. We may not have had the FRC HOF teams there but the number of teams that will qualify for state was high. Most of the teams we had to face in elims were previous alliance partners, gracious professionals and friends we have made over the years. I thought we might be getting the "2011 curse" back in the semi finals when our right joystick went dead but the problem did not reoccur. None of the elimination matches were easy to win as the alliance were all good. 107, 2771 and 2075 your elimination strategy had me worried. 4967, 1918 and 141 had me thinking about how we always face 1918 at GVSU and how good 4967 is (alliance partner at Gull Lake District) and 141 a previous good alliance partner in West Michigan.

Special thanks to 2771 for your open house which is invaluable to us and to 1918 for the inspiration on our catching system and the wheelie bars you guys suggested to us. You guys are awesome and a great example of gracious professionalism.

Good Luck to all that make it state and beyond!!!
