First of all we would like to say thanks to everyone in Long Island that receives us so well. Then a special thanks to 329 that hosted our students in their homes for the competition days, was an amazing experience that our team will never forget.
Thanks 287 and 263 for joining us on that hard battle! Was great to work with you, the sinergy of our alliance made our victory possible. Congratulations to 870, 329 and 2875 for making to the finals and for the amazing 3 finals matches. We are happy that 2 of the finalist alliance will be in St. Louis representing Long Island as well. Congratulations 1796 on the Chairman's award.
We had an amazing weekend as always we had in Long Island! Thanks all the staff and people that make things happen, and thanks to Sam for the streaming, for our parents and members in Brazil it means a lot.

We were in a strange position seeding 1st as a defense breaching hanging bot.
We built what we thought would a great pick for a two shooter alliance.
Picking first was not easy.
In hind sight it may have been sensible to go down the list picking all the great seeded shooters first hoping to be declined their by splitting up most of the two stellar shooter alliances.
Not sure that that would have worked, but it may have leveled the field for us and our great partners 1796, 4567!!
Thank you guys for working with us!!
Thoughts??

When we saw the final ranking, we predicted that the top 4 teams according to our scouting will be splitted in different alliances, but the fact of 1796 ended in 9º changed the scenario, so 2 of the 4 top (on our own ranking) could be together, and probably unbeatable.
That was the most unpredictable alliance selection that I participated. Again, thanks to our partners 287 and 263 for working so coordinated to defeat that amazing alliance.
Now it's time to fundraise like crazy to come back to St. Louis!
Thanks Long Island!!
