A huge thank you to Alan Hollman and all the volunteers at CVR for putting on another stellar event. 1678 had a blast and thoroughly enjoyed competing with and against some of the best teams in California.

Thank you to our alliance partners, teams 254 and 3970 who both played at the highest level and helped us achieve the world high score of 210 in our second quarter final. Duncan, your team's driving and defense were a joy to watch (much to 5817's dismay) and 254, well you did what you always do and showed the world how the game is supposed to be played.

There were so many awesome teams at the event but I want to give a big shout out to the three rookie teams 5817, 5852 and 6059 for competing with the best of us and inspiring other rookies across the FIRST community.

Big congrats to team 812 for a thoroughly deserved Chairman's Award, team 1671 for EI, team 5817 for RAS and especially to Adam Heard for a well-deserved WFFA. Adam, you and your team have been an inspiration to us for our entire team's history and I'm so happy that you finally got the recognition you deserve.

Once again, thanks to everyone for making CVR such a fun and competitive event and we look forward to seeing some of you at SAC and SVR.
