Re: 2007 Great Lakes Regional, Best Ever?

On behalf of team 65 I would like to say thank you to teams 1504 and 548 for letting us be part of your alliance. We had a great time being underdogs against that awesome #1 alliance.*

It was very cool to be part of an alliance run by a bunch of "college kids." I consider our team to be on the ball strategically (thanks mainly to Lars Kamen's alter ego and some experienced FRC students), but your team called the shots perfectly in my opinion. I wish we (65) could have been a little quicker to get back to the ramp.....

We'll definitely look for some 1504 high ground in Atlanta!

Thanks,
Ken


*The #1 alliance had incredible tube scoring power, ramp options, and defensive capability. Check out their double-keeper-scoring in the quarterfinal round, and 1114's "go for the back nine" approach during the early part of the matches.
