Triple Helix would like thank our new friends from 1690 Orbit and 4050 4-H Biohazard for an awesome set of playoffs and finals matches! You guys were a pleasure to play with and our alliance seem to click from the start, faltering only slightly when the capacity of our robot to play as efficiently as normal was compromised by a bad limit switch. It was really cool to be able to come back from that with a big finish in finals match 2!! We are truly pleased that both of your teams are now qualified to attend the FIRST Championship. It was amazing to us that 1690 hadn't qualified previously since you play at such a high-level, but we were very pleased to be able to help you punch that ticket. You are certainly a well-deserving team!

Congratulations to the many award winners and many thanks to the regional organizers, judges, referees, and volunteers. We enjoyed our visit to College Park very much, and we are hoping to return some day if the National Capital Region district championship is ever held there. The facility is awesome, and a number of us on our team really enjoyed the space in front of the field from which we could watch the matches up close. It really made a big difference in trying to debug any robot problems!
