There's only one thing missing from this incredible championship event thread,
a poem!
(provided by Deb Pontbriant, team 230 mentor)

The Gaelhawks want to thank teams 177 and 4055
For joining us in catching, trussing and shooting high

From the first moment waiting for the signal to start
Knowing that working together had to be an art

Human players, drivers, coaches and robots combined
Making decisions by thinking together with one mind

Conjoining our teams to form a STEM force of one
Without your help, the blue alliance wouldn’t have won

NRG, Bobcats and Gaelhawks aligned
To form Kittygearhawks behind the line

This is the beginning and not the end
For us all, to forge a new understanding of STEM

So Thank you, Thank you, from the Gaelhawks to you
We can’t wait to see what more we can do


Thanks Deb, and thanks to teams 195, 558, and 5122 for providing such great competition, sportsmanship, and support, You guys are the best, without you we could not be the organization we are today.

And a special thanks to team 228 GUS, you've helped us out at every competition this year, we are eternally in your debt. Can't wait to get together in St. Louis!

Sincerely,
Steve.
