Congratulations to the champions, especially 181 for their first ever win and for representing Connecticut well. 399, your California spirit was intense, thanks for coming out to share it with us. 365, congrats on the well-deserved Chairman's award, and you and your alliance were a very strong foe in the quarter-finals. Rookies, whether you were a ramp, defense, or whatever, you three teams performed impressively and I'm sure you all have bright futures in FIRST.

Once again thanks to everyone and I hope to return to the Philadelphia regional with whatever team I mentor in college.

Also this is Chuck's First win ever! *is so excited*
