[Matt Howard]

I'd like to extend a big thanks to our Alliance partners 987 and 1013 in helping us attain our first regional win.

Both of your teams understand what it takes to win, and understood the overwhelming importance of strategy in this year's game. The Combination of all of our data, excellent human players, and cooperation within the teams is how we accomplished this together. It was a pleasure and an honor to have you as alliance partners.

I'd also like to extend a big thank you to the Alliance of 3006, 330, and 1197. You guys were a blast to play, as well as a very tough alliance.

3006, keep up the good work. Your team number is the only indication that you are a rookie team. Your drivers, robot, the entire package you present has the qualities of a team that has been around for much longer. Good job winning Rookie Inspiration as well as Highest Rookie seed, you earned every bit of those awards. We look forward to seeing your team grow in the near future. Great work and keep it up!

1197, Your great driving and excellent defensive maneuvering made you a very effective defensive robot. Very nicely done.

330, It was great to play you guys. You are one of the friendliest, competitive and professional teams in FIRST. It was a pleasure to play your team, and in the Finals at that! Win or Lose, it is always fun to play you guys, and I truly mean that.
