Various hordes of 1114 mentors and students trooped in and out of our pit all weekend, made runs to the plastic store for us, all to help us strip our robot down to the bare chassis, and rebuild from the ground up (our baseplate was too heavy). With their help, we rewired and rebuilt the robot as a ramp that can hold two robots very easily. In an incredible display of gracious professionalism, they gave up their weekend to help make us competitive.
The above is a thank you letter that we wrote to them, and would like to share with all of you on ChiefDelphi so that they can get the recognition they deserve.
Kate,

You and the rest of S.W.A.T. are far too kind. It was our pleasure to help your team out. Your team is one of the most inspirational and gracious teams in all of FIRST. Working hand in hand with your team to create those great ramps was a wonderful experience for everyone involved.

More importantly, congratulations on your Chairman's Award. You are leaders in the Canadian FIRST community, and this award was well deserved.
