After just coming back from our long plane ride and bus ride, I must throw my two cents in here as well.
Teams 175 (Buzz) and 236 (TechnoTicks) could not have been better alliance partners. Thank you both very much for accepting our invitation, working so well w/us, and just basically being awesome people to work with.
Thank you to team 651 for offering to take us out to the Galleria, even if those vans were a little full, I still had a great time w/you guys.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to team 357 (Royal Assault) for rooting for us in the finals of our division. Your support of our team really meant a lot to us and I was glad that you were there. I really do feel like we were representing not just our team, but yours as well, and I hope that our win can be felt by your team as well. I am sorry that we could not be in the same division but congrats to you guys for making the strides that you did w/your own bot.
Congratulations should also be given to teams 1218 (CHAbot), 225, and 84 for doing so well in their respective divisions.
As a scouter I watched a lot of rounds and the following teams in our division amazed me:
312 (Heat Wave) for your most interesting design of your bot and the consistency of your autonomous programming
303 for your extreme reliability and just overall simple yet effecient design
486 (Positronic Panthers) for your reliability as well; I remember seeing you at Drexel and your consistency amazes me
Anyways, on a more personal note: 341 had never been picked to participate in playoffs since its inception and the fact that this year we were 4th and able to make our own alliance (w/a 100% student built robot) really means a lot to us. Overall, thanks so much to all of those who supported us along the way!!!
