[Alan Anderson]

I only saw a few brief minutes of the qualification matches. But those eliminations -- wow! From the first seconds of Quarterfinal 1-1 (high score of the day, right?) to literally the last seconds of Final 3, there was more than enough action and excitement to go around.

Putting on my orange hat for a bit:

I'd like to thank all the teams who graciously accepted any of my unsolicited advice as I walked around looking at robots. I also appreciate the fact that I didn't have any angry mentors to deal with this year.

I want to apologize to at least two teams for spending so much time trying to debug problems that eventually went away only after replacing the roboRIO, or for failing to find a bad connection in the power path until late on the last day of the event. I would like to offer my continuing help by reviewing any software that teams want to post here (or send to me privately).

And I'll see you all again in the next couple of weeks!
