WOW!!!

What a great Championship!

I would like to thank everyone involved with FIRST for staging a super event. Sure there were small things that erked me at times, but they were far outweighed by all the positives.

I would like to thank Team 222 for selecting us and team 1405 for giving your all. I am proud of our alliance!

I would like to thank all the teams who helped us go 6 and 1.

I would like to thank the great folks from team 1108 for sharing your seats on Friday. I am sorry we had to face you in our first final series.

I would like to thank Team RAGE for the hanging award.

I would like to thank all the Gila Monster team members. You made this a great year.

I would like to thank all our parents for your outstanding support thourghout the year.

There is no way to adaquately thank General Motors and the employees at the Desert Proving Grounds. Watching all the excited GM teams at the Ice Cream Social on Friday says it all.

Finally, I would like to thank my wife (I hope she remembers me.) To all the FIRST widows out there, THANK YOU!
