Thanks, guys, and we'll see you in Atlanta, and some of you in Vegas.

Actually, the choice was quite easy.
SPAM was looking for the best arm-only robot that was left to choose from. Watching your two qualifying matches on Friday showed us that you could do it.
After that, we were looking for a good defensive robot and we were very familiar with 1889's capabilities.
It was a blast having the chance to play with Pink, rather than against them. In all of my years with the team, I cannot recall ever having the opportuninty, either in qualifying or eliminations.
And it is always a blast to play with Gary and Tytus. What other mentors do you know who break dance during the elimination rounds?
