I would like to give a shout-out to two teams who have helped catapult us to where our team is today. And ironically, we were with them both in Eliminations at Dallas this year!

Numero Uno is Team 704 Warrior Robotics. You guys got us started, and have been helping us ever since. We can always count on you guys, and we hope at some point that we can return all the favors you guys have given us. It's always fun to share ideas with you guys.

Secondly, Team 3310, Blackhawk Robotics. You guys have a clean machine every year, and are always open to talk about it. You guys may not realize it, but by being selected as the last pickwith you guys in 2012 (our rookie year), you guys brought a wakeup call to our program. Because of all that you guys have showed us, we know what to strive for. And slowly with a couple of different influences, we're working our way to a better program. But none of it would have been possible without you guys inspiring us that very first year.
