Re: Special shout out to 2990
I loved working with your team for the duration of playoffs both in the pits and on the field after joining our alliance. Your students were eager to help any chance they got with anything that was needed. Working to cheesecake your robot with a folding blocker was a joy.
It has taken me personally many many years to develop the necessary balance between doing, helping, and delegating tasks that enables me to include and engage others as much as possible. Your students however just made it flawless and easy for me because of their skills and confidence, I could tell right away they knew everything that was going on and were focused on the tasks at hand. I was supremely impressed with how quickly they were able to take the blocker off, parts sorted and set aside for re-installation, and were almost finished by the time I even heard we decided to take it off. When we put the blocker back on they had all the parts ready to go and beat our own mechanical team member to having the tools in hand, and it was off again in a couple of minutes when our teams changed their minds about using it on field.
Never before have I worked with another team that made my job of working with them so calm and easy. When they needed something they asked, when we needed something they were there to supply and aid us. They just did their job, every step of the way. It is teams like yours that I get to work with at competitions that are truely the highlights of my FIRST experience. I'm happy we won our Division, I'm a little sad we didn't win it all, but I'm overjoyed to have shared the experience and gotten to know your team.
Thank you for making my journey with 1678 and FIRST amazing and memorable.

P.S. also a little sad that I didn't end up getting to work with and get to know 364 Fusion. I hope I get another chance some year.
