Re: IRI Thanks
I wanted to say thanks to Doug and the rest of team 980 for being generous enough to make me an honorary member of their team. I meant a lot to me to know that I had a place to go even when my team didn't come to the competition. 980 is definitely one of my all-time favorite FIRST teams, and their outstanding dedication to the spirit of the game astounds me. Even when they don't sleep at night (of course not, that's saved for the dinner table, right Doug? Sorry, couldn't resist..) they still pull off an amazing performance, and as a team.
Congrats to 71, 980, and 269. It was a great alliance. (And special thanks to 71 for all the free pencils ^-^)
To everyone, and I mean everyone that was at all involved with this competition, no matter if you competed, helped set up, worked the scoring, or just showed up for the heck of it. THANK YOU. It was an awesome experience, and I feel very indebted to everyone that was present, in person or even in spirit. I am so glad that I was able to see this competition.
It stands out to me as the true spirit of FIRST.
