Once again congrats to 67, 503 and 326. It was great playing against you guys I only wish that despite the outcome of our last match we had been upright and able to play, but hey what can you do?
Onto some praise from this regional (sorry if I didn't mention your team but there were so many great teams that I'd be up all night and I'm sure we are all tired

)
201- Outstanding driving I was blown away by your incredibly intelligent play, defensively, and offensively. Honestly some of, if not the best, driving I've seen yet.
65- It was great to meet you guys, and on the field there were some hard-fought matches. You guys and your alliance never let us stop, pushing us to our full potential. It was a great experience.
469- You guys were a great alliance partner and any team who manages to re-design/rebuild their entire offense in one day then come back the next day and be so competitive gets a big thumbs up from me. You also nearly made up for our lack of "participation" in that last match with some awesome driving.
67- Congratulations on your win today guys. Every year you guys manage to produce an incredibly solid bot and this year is obviously no different. You were great opponents and I have to say the entire wall of 67, 503, and 326 members behind our alliance's driver's station was pretty intimidating, but at the same time it jusst made everything that much more exciting
217- I don't know what I can say that hasn't been said a million times over already but I'm constantly impressed with your spirit, robot, and attitude, whether it's in the stands or on the field
1646- Once again you guys were an amazing alliance partner. Some of the best driving I've seen all year, never once did I feel you were in our way (but you definitely irritated our opponents

) and our whole alliance seemed to have a great flow to it. It was a blast talking to you guys on the field and I hope to see you guys again sometime down the road, wherever it may be. BOILER UP!
33- Last but certainly not least is the Killer Bees. First of all, congrats to Jim Zondag on his well-deserved Woodie Flowers Award (do the Zondag

). I was absolutely floored by your hybrid mode, which I would place as one of, of not the best there (there was some close competition from the Martians if I remember correctly edit: as well as 326 and I'm sure there were other I've forgotten sorry). You were a great competitor and partner, and I expect nothing but success in the future from this team.
This is just a sample of the great teams that attended the Great Lake Regional this weekend. Good work to everybody out there who attended this amazing event.
-Oh yeah how about a round of applause for Dave Verbugge and his amazing speech and MC'ing work.
