It couldn't get much better than the Great Lakes Regional. First of all, thank you so much to 217 and 66 for selecting us as their alliance partner. You guys were some of the very best alliance partners we've ever had, and it was an honor to be able to drive with you guys. The energy and enthusiasm you guys showed was incredible, and we absolutely could not have asked for better alliance partners. The wiring problems were a shame, but it was far from a disappointing performance this weekend. Good luck to both of you in Atlanta, we only wish we could join you.

Congratulations to teams 67, 503, and 326 on the win. It was a blast playing against you guys, and you were great opponents. You're defeat of 27's alliance was also very impressive, I really thought they had a victory in the bag, but you guys managed to pull off a win against a very tough alliance.

I was very impressed that 469 managed to pretty much rebuild their entire robot for this competition, and you guys were even more amazing then before.

I must echo my comments from the Detroit Regional about 27. You guys always impress me with you professionalism, and your robot is one beautiful piece of engineering art.

Thank you to our pit partners, 894, for lending us some tools in the morning to uncrate, and thank you to 1023, Bedford Express, for the awesome match boards that you gave the teams. That was a really nice gift for you guys to give.

There are many more teams that need thanking, but if I listed them all I could write a book. This was our last official competition of the season, and my last regional as a student. No Atlanta for us, so thank you for making this one of the best competitions of the year.

Good luck to everyone in Atlanta, and we'll see you in the off-season.
