Wow, what an amazing two weeks for 1626. I just want to thank all of those that were supporting us while we were here in Palmetto. It was nice to know that our partners, 121, from Boston were supporting us, as well as our opponents from Boston, 125. You guys really kept us going. As disappointing as it is that our official 2007 has come to an end, it's still an amazing season. Two time finalist at two awesome regionals, and Delphi Driving Tomorrow's Technology Award is just flat out awesome. I want to personally thank Corey and Tom, for sitting and watching the webcast and giving us support/help. You guys are awesome.
Also many thanks to 1251 and 1758. The run to the finals was hard fought and well earned. I think those were some of the most amazing major repairs that have ever been completed in such a short time period. We had parts machined inbetween matches for 1251. Their turret went unused in one match, but we were able to replace a custom modification that they had no spares for in such a short time period. Can't forget 1758 either. They also had to replace critical parts of their gripper at least twice. Amazing show of worksmanship, really inspiring. 1626 almost made it without any major repairs. Right before the final match, we had to replace a wheel. It literally took us about 30 seconds to do. I couldn't have asked for a better run to the finals in either Boston or Palmetto.
I know I've forgotten people, but seriously, THANK YOU to all that helped make this the most unforgettable season for 1626. We'll see you all in the off-seasons
