I was very much impressed by all the teams competing at this Regional. In my opinion you couldn't have asked for better alliance pairings. Congrats to 217, 469, and 440 on the win, and congrats to everyone who won an award.

I'd also like to say that I was incredibly impressed by two other teams in particular, 27, and 2337. As always you guys at team Rush have put together a remarkably well designed robot, and you did some amazing pitwork getting it fixed up for the finals. The last second hurdle was also incredible.

And 2337, I have to say you're design impressed me a great deal. Aside from hitting it over the driver's station, an impressive feat in itself, the fact you guys have such a creative design just blows my mind.

I'm glad I finally got to see overdrive in person, it's certainly much better than I think I gave it credit for. Now I just can't wait till our first regional this year at Western, we'll be seeing some of you guys there.

P.S. Thanks also to iPirates for some interesting lunch time conversation. And I think you guys also had one well designed robot. I hope we'll see you guys at either the Championship (we can only hope) or at MARC.
