Re: Congrats Dawgma

Thank you everyone for your congratulations!

I have to mention that we would not have done as well as we did without the help from many teams at Philly, such as 103, 173, 357, 365, and especially 341. I'm sure there's a few I'm missing, so thanks to everyone that came by to check up on us and help us out!

To all the guys at Miss Daisy, thanks for everything that you did. Even as we spent all of thursday and part way through competition friday trying to sort out all of the problems that suddenly arose with our robot, you had no problem sending over a few people to check over pretty much everything on our robot to get it up to full working condition. Thanks to you guys and everyone else that lent their expertise to our robot, we now know what's causing the issue and we will compete at the Championship hopefully even better than before!

To my team... WE'RE GOING TO ATLANTA! Without all of the hard work from our build team (who saw very little of the qualifying rounds due to being in the pits working on the bot), we would not have gotten our robot back into a condition suitable for the field. Our drive team did a great job, despite the robot flipping out a bit before tripping the breakers during some of the earlier matches, we still mangaged to seed 17th overall! One big thanks to Zollman, who put together our team design notebook and obsessed himself over making sure we had a nice presentation for the judges to see. Again Zollman, thanks for helping me explain all the aspects of the club, team, and everything else to the judges. To everyone, we did it! Now it's time to start gearing up so we'll be ready for the Championships!

Once again, thank you to everyone for all of your praise. We are all very proud of what we have accomplished over the last few days and are really looking forward to seeing everyone at the Championship event. Here's to DAWGMA!
