[/quote]I have to do this,

I'm from team 1743, a rookie team that was picked by the top alliance and won. We are happy as all hell, but we would never NEVER had made it if it wasn't for team 63, 1708, 308, 395, 1038 and 365 (who when we snapped a sproket, came and gave us the replacement parts). I really couldn't ask for more in a rookie year but really this is to everyone there, you all did good. And team 1727, be proud of what you did too for your rookie year, enjoy nationals, it will be fun.

My other shout out is to the metal moose (who i can't remember their team number) who was our backup, who was all packed up and uncrated just to be ready just incase. You guys deserve a pat on the back for that and we thank you for that.

And for everyone there, congratulations for making it there. For some it might be old news, but look just getting a robot that can preform is great. Everyone needs to be proud of what you did during the 6 weeks. Now its time for a break until nationals! Hope you all had fun and hoping to hear from some of teams![quote]

on behalf of 1038, THANK YOU! 1743 was incredible, believe me. you guys were completely awesome and there would not have been a win without your awesome robot. on that note, thank you so much 395, nothing would have happened without you picking both 1038 and 1743. i had a blast at pittsburgh, it being my first regional, and it was due to both of your help and consideration
