Two regional champions! I'm still blown away!

I want to give a quick thanks to the entire team, mentors, kiddies, coaches and all, for putting up with my many programming mistakes, rewrites, and "because-of-my-terrible-autonomous-and-programming-we-lost-the-match/broke-the-robot" moments. The build team did an insane job from idea to CAD to reality and the business team really did an amazing job with what may be the most underappreciated (wrongly so) aspect of our team (two KPC&B Entrepreneurial awards! Nice!).

We really pulled it together in our second year thanks to some extremely committed mentors (with 50+ meetings past 6:00PM, dozens past 8:00PM, many past 10:00PM, and one fateful all-nighter (special shout out to Andrew for putting up with 4:00AM me)).

All of you guys rule, our alliance partners rule, our sponsors rule, Kamen and Flowers rule, Chief Delphi rules, FIRST rules! Thanks for giving me the ever so contagious "bug".
