"You are so dang passionate, energetic, and competitive, you may view our performance in Atlanta as a failure, and it may be difficult for you to initially come down from that Red Bull-fueled plateau you were operating on in Atlanta. Well your team moved one step closer to Einstein, advancing to the divisional finals for the first time ever (and I think you beat 296 to that Canadian milestone by a matter of minutes ), all while completing one of the most successful competition seasons in FIRST history. Along with all the other wonderful hard-working mentors, teachers, parents, and students on 1114, you've guided 1503 and 1680 down the same path, allowing them to share in your success even as they are creating their own.

I'm so glad I met you during this season, Karthik. It has been a lot of fun and I hope that our teams get to work with each other sometime. You guys had an AWESOME robot this year. Very nicely approached and great strategy for all of the triplets! This is my first year of robotics with 469 and the experience so far has been amazing, and you have contributed to that. I also had the wonderful opportunity of speaking with 1503 and from what I hear, everything is going really good for you guys. 1114 almost made it through Curie, you guys were sooo close! Hopefully I will see you at IRI! Btw, thanks for cheering me up when I was feeling down at the end of our last match on Curie, it really made me feel a lot better. Cya!
