: I'm glad were so well-known but almost every member of the team is a rookie this year. The team moved from Broadway to Bellarmine this year.
: Of course thats no excuse for not doing well.
Don't worry Jay - you guys are doing great so far. We're actually ahead of where we've been the last two years at this point, mostly due to all the new students and how well you guys have been doing. We've been very impressed, and the new students have actually exceeded our hopes & expectations.
I know the first year can be a little intimidating - especially for a freshman

But worry not - you guys are working very hard, have learned a lot, have made many improvements, and are working great as a team & with other teams - which is really what this entire program is all about, so the year is already a success regardless of what place the robot comes in. Rest assurred, you will have a great time at the competitions.
See you later today.
