That we even won a single match was incredible for us (let alone making it to the semi finals!!). I'd like to REALLY thank 1728 and 1405 for picking us, as we had so many problems with our robot over the past couple days. We all feel extremely fortunate.

Congratulations to all of the winners and competitors (esp. 1511 for their Chairman's award). I'm not sure I have seen so many underdogs win in elimation matches in a single competition; it made for some extremely exciting matches.

Also thanks to everyone who cheered with us, it was great fun! (sorry to the person on 1126 who I hit with the GM flag a few times while waving it! Haha!)

Too bad 1728 fell off our ramp.
