Teams 118, 1678, and 1671: I have had the pleasure of competing with these great teams as both a mentor on 5012 and student on 399. Over the years, these teams have continually improved the quality and performance of their robots. Before this weekend, I considered these three teams to be the best teams without a World Championship title. Thanks for allowing us to assist you during playoffs on Newton and Einstein!
Sorry if I missed a few teams or people. This weekend has been surreal.
Thanks all and see you in the offseason!

Jeremy, from 1678 we were very excited to pick up Gryffingear in the Newton draft. You were the consensus pick by 118 and us in the strategy meeting Friday night--it was the shortest conversation that night. We had planned to use you in 10 of the 14 matches, but being able to grab 1671 flipped our strategy. (More on that elsewhere.)
We agreed your organization was a critical factor in our selection, and we could attest to excellence of your team from the Inland Empire last year. 399 has built a nice legacy. The reliability of your robot on Newton was a big plus.
We look forward to seeing you next year. Maybe a trip to Sacramento so we can reunite the entire alliance?
