Agreed. When I think of Lone Star Regional, one of the first teams I think about is 118, followed quickly by my respect for NASA and its amazing support for FIRST over the years.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

I am going to write a letter. I also had the privilege of attending the Florida Regional this year and saw how appreciative many of the teams were to have NASA's support. It was so inspiring to hear their stories, veteran and rookie teams alike, when walking through the pits.
