Obviously thank you to all of the event planners, judges, and referees, who worked the event. Though it was my first regional, it could be described as the coolest thing ever.

Thank you to teams 1024 and 71 for being such great teammates. Also thanks to 135, 93, and 876 for being such great sports and even better competitors. I also want to thank team 16 Bomb Squad for talking with us and just being great support and great friends. Thanks overall to all who competed for making it a great first Boilermaker Regional when it comes to compeition.

Thanks for all your congrats and I was more surprised than most of you. Thanks to everyone who showed me the ropes and helped me out. Also, thanks to my teammates for making my first year so great.
