Re: pic: 1038 Nails auton in the Pitt eliminations
The ThunderHawks have been one of the powerhouses storming up Pittsburgh for the past two years. Whether it be on the field, with their technical and strategical prowess, style (anyone notice that their bumpers changed color depending on what alliance they were on, and the slick airbrushed paint job by Amanda), or their relentless spirit throughout competition. They cheered for everyone and I mean EVERYONE. 1038 is a well rounded team that truly gets it. They are one of the most humble and gracious competitors that you will ever meet. No matter what they will always play their hardest and do what's RIGHT for their alliance as well as their opponents. The ThunderHawks made it a personal goal to help other teams in need especially the rookies. They spent countless amount of time guiding our rookie #1 (way to go 2279) seed through eliminations, sharing their scouting information, consulting on strategy and picks for alliance selections. To Dave, Jimmy, Dan, the rest of the mentors and students thanks for showing us what's so great about FIRST. The ThunderHawks are a team that I will always judge mine against and try to emulate. Go get 'em at Buckeye and see you down at the CMP.
Best,
Wayne
