First, I want to thank Blake for developing this. Like most any major forklift IT operation, it wasn't perfect at first, it had some issues, but through iteration and hard work, it has improved greatly.

Secondly, and far more importantly, thank you for interacting with the "users" of the system here, being open, listening to feedback, and, I really can't stress this enough: being responsive to our needs and concerns.

Since it launched there's been several significant upgrades to the system, at a pace that eclipses what FIRST has been able to with, say, STIMS, for example. There's still some things to work on, but I feel far better knowing they are being worked on, and we can see tangible progress.

I hope that FIRST can take this model, learn from it, and that we can see more like this from FIRST directly in the future.

Again, thank you.
hear hear!
