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.
Thanks for the support! I remember you guys gave us a heck of a time in GLR. Hands down the best defending robot we've been up against. Thank you also for the kind words, it means a lot.

we had fun running with and/ or against each of you during the qualification rounds. It was a privilege to run against 3 such great machines during the Galileo finals. You deserve it.
It was a privilege playing with and against you guys as well. I remember going into a match with you guys not expected you to match us in points (which gave our alliance the win), so when I found out we were against you guys with Cheesy Poofs and D'Penguineers I was a little worried that their third robot could get 4 hurdles in a match! You guys put up a tough fight, good luck next year.

Thank you 1114 for picking us, couldn't have asked for a more dominating partner, you carried us through most of Galileo and I felt bad until we got to pull our weight on Einstein. Your design was simple and elegant and your drive team amazing.

To 148: Wouldn't have had it any other way, you guys are simply incredible. I love Tumbleweed, and I love your team. You proved to everyone that yes, the little robot can kick some butt. I've never spent so much time just looking at a robot, never. I hope you guys use the crab drive for years to come Maybe next year FIRST will allow for some titanium bevel gears. And if you ever find yourself needing to get rid of one of those modules you know who to call

And thankyou to the rest of FIRST, in the past 3 years I have gained what seems a near infinite amount of knowledge. I've learned about teamwork, engineering, deadlines, and rivets. I've made friends, and a CAD drawing here and there. I've found something that has changed my life and influenced my decisions in a positive way. I've experienced feelings that few people get to experience at my age. I've felt accomplished, accepted, ecstatic, elated and tired after 12 weeks of the most exciting time in my life. I've never belonged to something like FIRST, it's an indescribable feeling to belong to something so big. For lack of adjectives, FIRST is, simply put, epic. An epic adventure with an epic ending. But FIRST's pull on me will not end now that I'm going off to college, I'll always have these memories, and I will treasure them, and one day I hope to be able to give back to the organization that has given me so much.

Thank you one and all,
Mike Harrison
