Re: [CHS] Greater DC District Event

I know 1885 had a great time overall at our first district event. Thank you 1389 for hosting, and for executing it really well!

I'm also very appreciative of the event staff and FIRST HQ's way of handling the field faults. The 'client side' (i.e. people in charge at the event) seemed to be way more confident and willing to be open about what's going on knowing that FIRST HQ had every possible piece of data. This led to (at least a perception of) a more relaxed environment all around during what was easily one of the most stressful FTA-centric anomalies I've seen on an FRC field. I also appreciate the tough schedule decision that was made.

Thank you to 2537 for being such a great partner to work with yet again! We love the relationship we've developed over the years. We'll see you again this week. And thank you to 4949 for giving it everything you had!

Finally, congratulations to the winners, 1418, 836, 2912 and 4821. Even the non-robot kids on my team know who Vae Victus and the Robobees are because of the friendship and respect we've developed over the years. I knew we'd have a shootout in semi's, and we look forward to seeing you guys at DCMPs!

Looking forward, the event REALLY helped my build team work out kinks in our shooter because the "shooter" slot on the practice field was wide open for most of the event. I suppose I'm surprised more teams didn't try to shoot high goal in our region - only 8 across 2 events I've seen. We will have to see how this plays out as the season progresses.
