Billfred's 2005 Championship Congrats

Alright, so I just had to thank a few folks from the Championship, and congratulate a few others.

Of course, congrats to 67 on the double-banner year, as well as 330 and 503.

Thanks to the guys from Heatwave for coming out of functionally nowhere to cover the other half of real-time scorekeeping on Curie, and thanks to all the other volunteers and staff that made it happen.

Thanks to the entire ChiefDelphi crew, and thanks for that T-shirt.

Congrats to South Carolina's own 343 on their high seeding in Curie, and thanks for those T-shirts. And congrats to Colatown's own 1398 on the Judge's Award--they've learned something special in their two years of FIRST.

And congrats to all the teams who had catastrophic failures of their robots on the field. Very rarely did I see a robot that was stuck or flipped or tangled or running around with its arm half-ripped off standing still or admitting defeat until things were painfully obvious.

Finally, congrats everyone on surviving three wild days in the ATL. Let's make the town wilder next year!
