Congratulations, Delphi Elite!

p.s. Your half-track drivetrain is rockin sweet... really like the speed it has now too. See you all in Atlanta!

Thanks for the compliments. In addition to their obvious duties, these kids serve as our eyes and ears in the pits, pointing out teams in need of parts or assistance. They've given me more reasons to smile this year than I can count.
I've actually started to see teams mimicking the safety escort actions on their own - imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It's nice to see their practices assumed internally by other FIRST teams. The safety escort motto - walk carefully and carry a big mouth!
Thanks to 1008 and 1532 for joining 48 in our (yet another - 3 events, 3 QF finishes, 3 lose first, win second, lose third situations - only on 48 do you see such patterns of consistency in seemingly random events materialize.....) short but sweet elimination run this year. Your teamwork in sticking up for alliance partners placed in precarious positions more than makes up for not advancing in the elims.
Thanks to 48's own Frank Bosak and David Thomas from 964 for putting on a great webcast. We DIDN'T have the draw of Karthik and Copioli like Waterloo, but we still had upwards of 150 viewers simultaneously watching our little ol' robotics competition from abroad. Great job, guys.
And I think someone over at TBA needs to take a look at the stats for your linked sig banner, Q - they list you as semifinalists at Buckeye! Oops....
