The event was very well run. While I was initially concerned about the officiating regarding robot-robot interaction, the refs kept the flags in the pockets throughout the intense elimination rounds and let the robots and drivers decide the championship on the playing field.

Congrats to the winners, 1629, 175, and 1184. To 1629, I guess it turned out better for you that we declined your offer of alliance. We have no hard feelings towards your team and we hope you have none towards us, but team 103 was #1 on our board and we wanted the higher second round pick.

It was a privilege picking Cybersonics team 103. You are one of the benchmark teams (25 being another) against which we measure our performance. We take great satisfaction when we can beat you, but at Cheasapeake we enjoyed working with you even more. We also thoroughly enjoyed working with team 1389. We were very surprised that you had not yet been picked when we chose you. You remind me of 293 before last season--a small, competitive team that builds good robots. Best of luck to both 103 and 1389 in your competitons in this year and in years to come.

For the scout from 175: who were the top 5 teams in the qualification matches in center goals per game and what were their averages? Thanks!
We have always considered Spike to be a quality team and were honored that you picked us, we are humbled by your remarks and hope to see you in some of the off season events, We do have some unfinished business to take care!!
