Re: Congratulations 1114, 217 and 148
1114 - All year we watched the vids of you scoring and everyone kept saying, "Where's the defense? Doesn't ANYONE want to try and slow them down?" Well, you certainly had a target painted on your back all weekend, and you showed how well you could still do against defenders - it was amazing! When 330 pinned a ball against their drivers station, and you reached in "around" their arms, lifted up and pulled back with the ball we couldn't believe it! Bet they couldn't either - right in front of them. Way to play so smart and cool, and under such tremendous pressure. Congrats!
217 - We couldn't wish for a nicer team to win! Being 1 win away from winning it all with you at Great Lakes and getting a ticket to Atlanta, we REALLY wanted to see you show off your stuff and boy did you! When you stretched that surgical tubing about 15 feet across the field from that far side post we were waiting for something to explode! Then you fixed it but too tight, and finally got it back to 100% again - all while surviving the playoffs in the most difficult division there. Wow! We're so glad you could show off why you have such a tremendous robot, drive team, and strategist. Here's hoping we can partner with you again this year! We're making a ton of improvements and will be ready for the summer off-season events with a vengence!
148 - I can just imagine what went through your minds when they called your name to partner up with those two juggernauts! We had the same privilege at great lakes when the #1 seed 66 and 217 picked us as their third and then we all took it to the third match of the finals. Hats off to your drive and design team. Way to chose to do one element of the game and do it great!
