The matches against the 1070, 254, 962 alliance were some of the toughest I've ever played in the years I've been doing this. Competing against the Poofs
anywhere is intimidating, but doing it in their hometown is terrifying. All three teams fielded fantastic robots -- but better than that, they were a fantastic group of people. I'm really happy to have had the chance to play against them again.

Thanks! We are so proud of our lifts. They've proven themselves, time and again, to be reliable and easy to use. Building an armless robot was risky, but we're extraordinarily happy with how well it's worked for us so far.

We recorded the event and will be making it available via SOAP as soon as we can get things split up into matches and compressed. We're still working

Running down to the field to receive our Finalist medals and trophies was fun, but winning the Engineering Inspiration Award took my breath away. We were
not expecting anything else and this award means so much to our team. We can't wait for the Championship!!
Thanks, everyone, for a great time. Particularly, all of us on 488 want to extend our sincerest thanks to our alliance partners, teams 766 and 852. You each played some of the
smartest matches I've ever seen in FIRST. You all played with amazing, dynamic strategy that made sure we were able to adapt to almost anything that came our way. 852 -- we'll be cheering for you from Seattle while you're competing at UC Davis.
Congratulations to teams 190, 1280 and 1516!
Also, we want to congratulate team 2024! We invited them to join our team for pizza and fun on Thursday night alongside 368 and so we were thrilled when they won an award that qualified them for the Championship.
