[EOC]

Team 1208 would like to thank teams 5172 and 525 for picking us, there were a lot of quality robots to choose from, we are proud and honored by the faith you placed in us.
On a separate note: After our last semi-final match Team 525 sustained significant damage. Watching their repair process I observed something that makes them a great team: the students, under the guidance of the mentors, performed the repairs in an efficient and timely fashion; it was clearly the student's robot, they built it and repaired. Of course, a quality robot like theirs does not happen in a vacuum, the team's mentors must have provided exceptional guidance and tutelage. This shows once again that The Swartdogs are a great role model and very deserving of their Chairman's Award.
