Re: Lone Star Regionals THANK YOU

Throwing our two cents in the ring as well:

Thank you to team 3847 the Crab Bots and Team 57 the Leopards for seeing our robot for what it was and not just our ranking score. We knew we were outgunned but played well and left our hearts on the field. Thanks to you 2582 has now been invited into elims 5 of the 7 years we have been playing this insane game called FRC.

To all the inspectors, referees, judges, and volunteers, thank you for a smooth well fought/played regional in a difficult game. We know that emotions can run high and you have a difficult job. Being a Fri-Sun regional we imagine you are all exhausted at work/school today (we know we are) but you held in there and hung on with all 55 teams that fully participated and we could not be more appreciative. Without you we would not have a regional.

Congrats to seeds 1 & 2. As usual finals were exciting and impressive matches to watch. If LSR is any indication we can only imagine what Championships is like. Someday we hope to see it in person.

Spectrum, you earned a well deserved Chairman's Award this year. What you have done in your time and your willingness to share is what FIRST is all about. In a time when others may have lost their way you are a true exemplar of the founding mission of FIRST and we applaud you. You have our admiration and respect and we look forward to meeting with you guys sometime this summer.

Congratulations and thank you to all the teams who made it to LSR. We played hard, worked hard, and had a blast. Thank you for making LSR what it is; one of the best and respected regionals in the world.

And finally, thank you to Lucia and her counterparts who fought to get LSR 15 years ago. (Speaking personally now) I know what I put in being a team coach and what you do is AMAZING. Thank you for fighting to bring FIRST to Texas and thank you for sticking around long enough for me to discover and participate in FIRST.

148, 118, and 2585, Good Luck at Champs and bring home another Blue Banner for our state!! '
