You guys are well on your way to "powerhouse" status and I'm sure have an Einstein appearance in the very near future.
Adam, your team is amazing. To be able to play on opposite sides of the field last year made our competition special, imagine this time working side by side with Team 67! It was very exciting to see how each team in the alliance played its part well. Team 225, what a sweet team, in the pits and the arena, your robot timing bringing the cans and stacking looked like we have practiced a lot before. Our dear rookies 5659, great GP and teamwork allowing our team to install the system on your robot. Each robot and driver doing their best; it was impressive.

Let's look at this from the bright side, your team participation brought our alliance very close to getting to Einstein. One of the 4488 team rules is to never blame individuals or groups for mistakes or get hung up on errors, as long as everyone in the team is doing their best. Everything that happens, good or bad, is handled by the team, as a unit. We improve and learn from each experience.

It is the same here, our alliance was one single team with a big number "4488-67-225-5659" and it was perfect! I don't think anyone has any doubt we all did our best.

We know it is part of this competition that a robot may fail and mistakes may happen, that is what makes our hearts pound and our adrenaline rush, and makes the audience cheer and scream loud. I believe ours, and the first alliance, brought some excitement to Carson, don't you think?

We are honored to have played with each of our alliances members both in Carson division and at the PNW events. We are grateful for the many friends we made throughout the year and the moments we had.
