Bryce, what you said, triggered a thought:

While Dave was speaking (that seems like such a weak word with regard to what he was saying/doing), I was thinking about the consistent opportunities that some of these teams have available to help them achieve their goals and compete well. The opportunities lie in the strengths and skills their engineers bring to the team, the competitions, and to Einstein. The technical side of this whole performance can not be overlooked by teams who want to follow in their footsteps, understand the competition, and develop a strong track record. It was quite a moment to sit, mesmerized and steeped in admiration and respect for the teams, as Dave unraveled some of the store of history he carries with him that is seemingly boundless when it comes to teams and FRC.
