West Michigan
To all who attended Grand Rapids,
Thank you for making this regional one to remember. I felt a real energy from everyone during the whole weekend. At times i felt like there was never a question that couldnt be answered or a problem that couldnt be solved. Everyone pulled together and helped where they could. Teams always seemed to have help to offer or a tool to loan. Thats what makes this such a wonderful thing.
The Electricity in the crowd was also something to see and hear. To me it seemed like the loudest audience i have heard at a regional in a long time. Everyone was having a great time!!
It was good to see old friends and to make new ones. The extended FIRST family is very important to me. I feel lucky to have met such wonderful people throughout the years and i hope to continue on that trend.
To teams 66 and 322, thank you for allowing us to play in the eliminations with you. You both are class acts. I enjoyed every match. To every team that played at West Michigan, thanks for making it so exciting. I still am amazed every time i see other teams robots and the things they come up with. I hope we will all continue to strive for the next level, and we will all meet at the top. LETS GO BLUE!!!!! and I will see you all in Florida.
