[MrB]

I'd also like to join AsimC in thanking our alliance partners Team 870 and Team 88. We lost in the semi-finals, but at least we lost to the best teams :-)

Team 311 was an amazing ally this year. Andy seemed to be in our pit more than in the 311 team pit. Considering that we usually are opposing Team 311 in most of our matches, it was an amazing example of "gracious professionalism", Andy you are a true embodyment of FIRST.

Then last I'd like to thank my team. In three short years we have accomplished so much. They try to drop the success on me, but all I do is try to keep up with them :-)
The students are the true motivating force, without them we would not be where we are today.

The Chairman's Award would not have been possible without AsimC. Although there were quite a few students who contributed to the preparation and the presentation of this years Chairman's Award, AsimC was the true inspiration behind the team. He is an excellent team leader, and is the sole reason for Team 871 winning the SBPLI Chairman's Award.

Winning the Woodie Flowers Award is an amazing honor. It was a complete surprise, and I am very pround of each and every one of my students and team members.

THANK YOU GUYS! (... and Denise :-)
