Re: Gracious Professionalism in Toronto

Thanks Adrienne,
I really knew our team got it, when they first wanted to ask to not be considered for the rookie all stars in Cleveland and Toronto after winning it in Rochester... They wanted more rookies to go to atlanta.

In cleveland, they gave out so many parts to different teams, and helped rebuild 1308... it was amazing...

And then in toronto, they spanned out across all the teams to try and help the teams get their robots running. Our programmers spent hours with 1620, and our pit crew helped out several other teams. Plus Tommy then helping out the 2nd seed... well they just continue to shock and amaze me.

Sitting here, Im not exactly sure how they really got it. I think it must have just come naturally, as they are really a great team, and have fallen in love with FIRST. But to do so well in all of our regionals, and to have such a great attitude about everything, wow. All of this, and they are still very humble. In a way, I sometimes like to just sit back and see what they come up with. I cant wait to see what Atlanta holds in store for our team, and what our team will come up with next.

Great job guys!

And toronto & its teams, thanks for an awesome regional!
