Well, what can be said, other than, what a great event!!! It was well run and well organized. The matches ran smooth, the que lines were awesome, the volunteers did a great job!! Thank you all.

Once again, the referee crew was amazing. Steve Shade and his experienced crew should run all events, or they should provide training to the other crews!! They were awesome as usual. I think they have the toughest job in FIRST, and they excel at it like no other!

Team 836 - You all are amazing. Your team and robot were phenomenal. I know you struggled a bit with the changes you made early, but then poured it on when you went back to what you excelled at!! Your strategy, your driving, and your high level of play carried you all the way!! It was our pleasure to play against you in the quarterfinals, and give you a scare!

Team 1418 - Again, an amazing team with an amazing robot. You all have been consistent all year, and that carried your alliance to the championship! Congrats on whipping the competition at all of your events so far!! Good luck at Worlds!

Team 5804 - Not too shabby for a rookie, good driving and strategy!! Have fun at Worlds!

Team 1086, 384, and 1885, congratulations on your Chairman's awards!! All three of you were deserving!!

Team 540, congratulations on your EI win, you are quite an inspiration to all!!

Good luck to all teams from the Chesapeake District attending the World Championships!
