This regional was one of the funnest competitions I've had the honor to compete in. There was a lot of fantastic teams competing and eliminations were very exciting!

A big thank you to all of the volunteers that put countless hours of work planning and running the event that made it run so smoothly, it wouldn't happen without you guys.

Also a huge thank you to our Alliance partners 701 and 568. Competing with our close friends over at 701 was an amazing experience, and I can't wait to see them at world's. Working with 568 was also amazing, I couldn't say enough good things about this team. Their team was great to work with, and everyone from their pit crew to their drivers were fun to work with. I can't wait to see you guys in St Louis!

A big congratulations to 118, 1678, and 5458. It was an honor playing against such a high caliber of teams in the final matches, and I wish all of you the best of luck at world's! My experience with these teams is a perfect example of how teams who build some of the best robots in FRC can exhibit amazing gracious professionalism both on and off the field.

Lastly a thank you to all of the amazing teams that competed at this regional! Everyone made this event great to be a part of, can't wait for next year!
