While it's great to see a number of powerhouse teams making their way to St. Louis this year, on a personal note I'll miss the Bomb Squad, team 16. In my first FIRST event 3 years ago they were the first team stop by our pit and welcome us. They fully embodied gracious professionalism, and got our team off to a great start with a first round victory. Of course, they followed up by thoroughly defeating us in the next 2 rounds, but that's beside the point.
So good luck Bomb Squad in Kansas City, we'll miss you.
