Some shout-outs---

Thanks to the event staff and field crew for another awesome event. You guys put a ton of work into it, and it shows in the quality of the experience the teams receive. Everyone on our team had a great time.

Thanks to 316 for having confidence in us, even with our inconsistencies in the qualification rounds. They were one of the most consistent stackers throughout the entire event.

Major props to 203, who by the finals was putting up identical points to 316. It speaks to the depth of the stackers at the event that we were able to pick up a double 6 stack robot as robot #24. After the first quarters, they put up 5's or 6's every time.

The politicking was very interesting right before the playoffs. I know at different times I had conversations with 11, 25, 1640, 1403, 2590, 193, 1218, 303, and 2607, not quite sure how everything was going to fall. All are great robots.

Big congratulations to 321 and 708 for your Chairman's awards--both have great programs doing great things in the Philadelphia area.
