We'd like to thank several teams, especially teams 69 and 126 for selecting us once again in Boston. This MA/CT alliance could easily be one of the toughest alliances to face at any regional or invitational with our regular drive teams. We'd like to thank both teams for being loyal to us this year, we just hope we didn't let you guys down with some rookie driver mistakes in the semi-finals.

A few teams to also take note of are teams 237 and 166. Team 237 was really a friendly team to us, one of the adivsors came to our pit area to congratulate us on our UTC victory and were among the best alliance partners in qualifing and if we had to lose we are happy we lost to a first class team like 237, as well as hall of fame team 175.

Team 166 we saw working with the rookie team that couldn't do much and trying to help them come up with a small arm design. That was a great move by their team to help team 1687. I don't know if they got an award or not, but 166 really should have recieved something for their willingness to help out a rookie team that really neeeded some help.

Finally Team 1071 would like to thank all the Beantown Blitz teams for selecting us for the play of the day award. Although I don't really remeber what we did that was so great, it means a lot to us that our peers and mentors on other teams selected noticed us and selected us for the award.
