I can not get over three things from Annapolis, all of which are rookie teams.


Team 1168, who deserved their Rookie Award for having that spirit up there throughout the competition, working hard on their bot everytime I came by their pits.

Team 1027, amazing rookies who placed in the 6th seed and third in the finals. You guys definately had the right stuff to be a FIRST team, and I look forward to seeing you guys at nationals.

Team 1184- I commend you not for catching on fire, a horrific accident, but your actions thereafter. You guys were able to keep your spirits high after such a tragedy and, by the end of that day, have your remade bot on the practice ramp trying to get your autonomous down! An engineering feat in of itself!
