Thanks to Team 1730 for a great job hosting the 2016 Cow Town Throwdown. Thanks also to the many volunteers who helped make the whole event run so smoothly. It was a great experience for all participants. It’s a long drive from Iowa for Team 525 to attend, but it provides an invaluable opportunity for new team members and new drive team members to get some FRC experience before our first 2017 event.

Team 525 would also like to thank Team 3284 for selecting us as partners for the playoffs. You did a great job selecting and captaining the alliance. It was a pleasure working with the whole alliance of 3284, 525, 1094 and 1108 and exciting watching those finals matches as we came close to upsetting the number 1 seeded alliance.

The whole event was outstanding. Great teams, amazing robots, excellent matches, first rate facilities and lots of fun.
