I am still unwinding from an amazing weekend.

We would like to thank 2170, 2054 and 706 for giving us a rare opportunity to work with such capable alliance mates. We hope to meet up with you all again.

Congratulations to 3132, 3476, 1255 and 2526 for winning the Division and representing Tesla on Einstein. It was inspiring to see how the Australian teams achieve such high levels of excellence while facing their supply chain and travel challenges make our challenges. We look forward to hearing more Thunder at Championship in the future.

We were also very happy that all the other Houston area teams in the Tesla Division (624, 1255 and 3847) made it to eliminations. Cryptonite and Spectrum worked hard to overcome technical difficulties to improve their performance steadily throughout the weekend. Congratulations to Blarglefish for making it two Houston area teams on Einstein and for giving out really useful swag.

Kudos to the members of 2613, our pit neighbors. The members of their small team worked cheerfully and persistently to make improvements to their robot and overcome significant technical challenges. We hope to see you at events in Texas and at Championship again in the future.

Last but not least, I would like to thank 2481 and 2122 for being so generous with your time and knowledge, answering the multitude of questions from me and my team. You used your world-class robots to help us understand what we need to do to move on to a higher level of play.
