[Shifter]

For teams that have never been to the New York City Regional, you should really consider going next year. The event volunteers were wonderful and the teams from New York City and it's surroundings made their visitors from out of state and out of country feel genuinely welcome. We enjoyed meeting and working with so many great teams who are all passionate about FIRST.

To the teams that we faced in qualifications and eliminations, you were great competitors and made every cycle feel like we were running the gauntlet - our robot has the bruises to prove it!

Our hats are off to team 353 on their well-deserved Chairman's Award.

To our international alliance (334, 1884, 4039), from catching the TechKnight's majestic arcing truss passes to the hard-nosed defence played by our Griffins, it was our pleasure to play this game of partnerships at your side. All three of us earning our first blue banners together was a moment we at MakeShift will never forget.
