[Rob Ribaudo]

173 is a horribly, horribly good team. At the SBPLI Long Island Reginal, I found out what FIRST really was. This was my first time at a FIRST compotition and I saw all of these great robots. I did not think much of yours at first. It did not really seem to look like it could do all that people told me it could do, boy I was wrong!
I watched your team Long Island when my team was there competing and saw you win. Then I watched the webcast of the New England Reginal and saw you win there too. Then my team went to Florida for Nats and I saw you win AGIAN.
I was so dissapointed when your robot beat ours at Nats during both of ours last match. I was sure we would have beaten you, but I think that what happened was that a chain fell off of our robot after we placed onto the field. Our robot was not able to drive good, and we lost to you (my worst nightmare at the time).
But either way, your team is very good and I hope you do great next year as well. (I just hope my team does better or equally as great as you next year)
