Re: Archimedes 2009

It's taken me a while to let everything soak in. Here are my thanks and congrats for our division:

1503
Thank you for having the confidence in us to pick us 2nd overall. It was a pleasure working with you guys and making a strong run in the eliminations. You're payload specialist was terrific and made it easy for us to switch our auto modes on the fly and still be effective. I can't wait to get to play with you guys again. Maybe we'll have to take a trip up to GTR sometime in the next few years .

488, 118 and 343
Kudos for adapting so well against us. In all three semi-final matches you guys kept us on our feet. Not being able to see what 488 had in their hopper made it extremely tough to play defense against them.

2056
Watching you guys was an awesome site. You guys truly do have one of the best robots in FIRST this year. Getting a chance to play with and against you on Thursday was very fun. I can't wait to get another chance to play with you guys (maybe at IRI?)

You guys continue to inspire me and my team. Even though LF has said that our robot was a 254 inspired design, we were originally inspired by the simplicity and effectiveness of your 2008 robot. When we started this season, we kept saying to each other that we wanted to create a bot that could play this game as efficiently as your 2008 robot. This year you guys showed showed us never to give up on a robot. You guys have adapted incredibly well from your rough start in Chicago to your strong finish in Atlanta. You're a poster child for the phrase 'The Robot Is Never Done.'. I too look forward to play with you guys in the near future.

222, 1218 and 2753
WOW! The fact that this alliance could be formed was ridiculous. These three teams had to be three of the most consistent scorers in our division. While they couldn't put up the big numbers like some, they were consistent.
