As soon as I checked the Galileo standings at noon on Saturday and saw 1114 as the number one seed, I knew they were going to pick 217 and the other three divisions on Einstein were in serious trouble. Congrats to 1114 on the GREATEST display of dominance I have ever seen and 148 for providing a strong compliment to the two outstanding hurdlers.
And, finally, I want to congratulate our fellow Michigan team, 217, the ThunderChickens. I remember seeing you guys for the first time two years ago on Einstein, when WE won Galileo. I remember how incredible your robot was, and felt that had we made it to the finals on Einstein, it would have been an epic showdown.
This year, I was extremely excited when I looked at the team list for the Great Lakes Regional last month and saw your team on it. I immediately knew you would be the team to beat, which as it turned out, you were. I loved not only your robot, but your humble demeanor and your display of class toward our drive team after you beat us. On Einstein, up on the second level near Curie, our entire team was cheering for your alliance to take Einstein and were elated when you finally did. On behalf of Team 201 the FEDS, I congratulate you on a great season. I couldn't ask for a better team to win Einstein.
(Oh, and one more thing, 217. We would really, REALLY like you guys to come to the Great Lakes Regional next year. We would actually like to play with your team lol
