Re: 2016 Smoky Mountains Regional

2481 had a lot of fun travelling to the great state of Tennessee for the SMR event. Huge thanks to all the volunteers who helped make the event possible. It was great to be able to meet a lot of new teams that we haven't had the pleasure of competing with before. Great job, everyone!

We'd also like to give massive thanks to our great alliance partners from 3824 and 4740.

It was a pleasure to team up with 3824 on the 2 seed alliance. You guys have got an amazing scoring machine this year and your team raised that scoring bar even further as the elim rounds went on. Amazing job and the Roboteers will look forward to crossing paths again in the future. Good luck and we will see you in St. Louis!

4740, you guys were great partners and played a great defensive role for our alliance. This whole event was essentially a war of attrition and you guys were the perfect personification of that - as well as the great spirit of gracious professionalism. We were just one of several teams that offered up assistance in getting your bot assembled and through inspection on Thursday, and then were also helping with software, comm issues, bumper brackets, etc. through the elims run on Saturday. No matter what the challenge, you guys perservered through it all and played some great defense. Your drivers were great to work with, you played your role as perfectly as you could. Awesome job, guys! Best of luck and we hope you are able to enjoy your experience in St. Louis! You've earned it!

I also cannot say enough about the amazing finalist alliance from 2614, 1986, and 4264. Those were some absolutely crazy finals matches, and it was a ton of fun sharing the field with all 3 of you for them. It's always great when all 6 robots involved are able to play in St. Louis. Incredible job!

Also, congrats to 1986 on winning Engineering Inspiration! It's always great to cross paths with you guys and one of these times we'll hopefully get to share the same side of the alliance glass. Best of luck in St. Louis and we look forward to seeing you there!

Huge shoutout and congrats to 1710 on their well earned Chairman's Award, as well! Couldn't have gone to a more deserving team. It was a pleasure to compete with you guys and we look forward to seeing you in St. Louis, as well!
