I'd like to thank everyone that made my IRI experience possible, this was the first time I made it down for IRI and I was really impressed and yes, it deserves a spot on my best competition list. I had the opportunity to sit and watch with my sister team, Team 1114 alongside 2056, I was more than impressed. I was very pleased with their hospitality and friendliness; they truly represented "Team Canada" well. Team 1114's robot is one wonder, but the team members themselves are another wonder. Thanks for making a memorable weekend Simbots.

Congrats to Team 1114, 2056, 111, and 494

I would like to also extend my thanks out to:

Ed Patterson from the X-CATS, Team 191 from Rochester who drove me to my hotel on Friday night, it was very helpful... Thanks and see you at the Ruckus

Jeff Beckett from 1114, who drove me back to Downtown Indianapolis on Saturday evening.

Jonathan Norris from 610, who gave me inspiration to come to IRI despite my busy schedule.

Karthik for making me feel right at home with the Simbots.

Brandon Martus, great selection of music at the event, I was more than pleased.

Last, but not least, the IRI planning committee, by making keepers worth 15 points; you really changed the outlook for most teams. I was waiting to see six keepers the whole season... And I finally saw it.


I hope to see ya'll next year.
