Wow. What an awesome weekend!

I had such a great time volunteering as an FTA/FTAA and helping out all the teams. To my other FTAs Harsh, Miguel, and Bill - working with you all was very fun and I hope we get to do another event in the future.

Special shoutout to Harsh for winning the Volunteer of the Year award - you worked so hard to put this event on and deserved every bit of it.

As always, thanks to the teams that hosted, the planning committee, and everyone else who helped make the event a success.

Another thanks to Austin Schuh and Andrew Nabors. Without them, we would have had a difficult time running the event. Andrew worked countless hours on Cheesy Arena whenever we were stuck, getting internet access to work, fixing issues we had with the network gear, getting TBA posting to work, and just generally stepping up whenever we had issues. Austin, true to his role on his volunteer badge, was our resident "Robot Whisperer", working to fix and recompile Cheesy Arena, solving connection issues with other team's robots and more - even though he just came to spectate and present his workshops.

All the teams I interacted with were fantastic. Especially 973, as they were very patient and helpful as we tried to get Apophis running on Saturday and Sunday. I was so happy when we ran that test match on Sunday morning and everything worked!

Congratulations to all the teams that made elims as well.
