Thank you so much for your help the last couple of years. I was new to the team this year, but heard a lot of stories about the wonderful help you gave our team last year at OKC, and saw it myself this year. It means a lot to us to have you guys looking out for us and helping us improve.

Sorry we didn't get that other recycle bin for you and 4364 in the playoffs. We tried! I was the 2nd driver on the team (controlling the can burglar), and it was fun trying to see the can through the wall of totes and also keep out of 4364's way! But I got to see the awesome stacking up close and personal. Congratulations on reaching your goal! Thank you again for picking us. We had a great weekend thanks to all the awesome teams.

Thanks also to our first alliance partners, 4364's rookies with their 2nd 'bot. It was a lot of fun playing with you, and it's amazing you put that robot together in 3 days. Great job!

2881 Lady Cans -- you had a great robot and we loved meeting you. Since we have a lot of girls on our team who can learn some things from you, we'd love to keep in touch and hope to visit central Texas for FTC (we are also 4964 the Rockettes) or FRC this year.

1710 Ravonics Revolution -- thank you so much for being our stacking buddy during the practice rounds and a couple of qualification rounds. Our robots were a perfect compliment for each other and we had a lot of fun hanging out with you. You also have amazing outreach and you are a team we really look up to.

Thanks to the FTAs for helping us solve our electronics problems early so we didn't have to deal with it as much in the qualification matches. We had a bunch of mechanical problems in the playoffs, but were able to patch it with zip ties, duct tape, and a couple of clamps and a vice grip that are still on the robot to hold things together.

Robovikes 4206, you put on a great event, and we hope to come back next year! The experience we got playing over 30 matches in two days was insanely awesome. We learned so much and actually had a robot that could score points for the first time in a long time (so I've been told).

Thanks to everyone for making our first offseason event ever so special!!!
