Thanks! Maybe one year in the far future we won't end up getting eliminated by TechFire
Seriously though, we were ecstatic when we managed to get 3974 in the second round - they had been about 4th or 5th on our
first round picklist. We were also not sure about being able to pick 4373 - we were pretty nervous watching 433's selection. More fun facts: Every single member of our alliance managed to get an award at Springside - 1712 got Industrial Design, 4373 got Industrial Safety, and 3974 got Innovation in Control. Also, that was the first finalist appearance for both RooBotics and for Dawgma! All in all, we managed to do pretty darn well for ourselves.
