Thank you Team 20. As you're a team very nearby us in build, you've helped us throughout build with programming, practice field use, parts, and the like. When we got to WPI regional, everything that could go wrong did... until you guys gave us more help and exhibited more gracious professionalism than I've ever personally seen at a FIRST event. It started with some programming advice... then details on your vaccumm, then the lexan we so vitally needed to pass inspection, then a hand tap, then a battery, then hours of more programming assistance... Your team was a true class act throughout. Clearly you guys were taking time away from your own robot which needed adjusting to help with ours, and for that we thank you. But wait, there's more! They ALSO lent us their scouting data and some of their scouts collaborated with us on our Friday pick list! Without 20's data, 2791 would not have been able to form the amazing alliance we had.
So thank you, Team 20. Not just for the unbelievable amount of help and spare parts and minds, but for inspiring my entire team. Through your example, the rookies "get it". They've caught the FIRST bug, and understand just how Gracious Professionalism comes into play. They have a new role model to look up to. Everyone on my team LOVES you guys and the amount of support you've given us. And congrats on that event win, you guys definitely earned it. I think you're one of the best front robots in FIRST at this point with your kicker that lofts over most defenders and your vacuum.

2791, I know I speak for my entire team when I say that to see your number up in the top eight made us so excited and happy. And when you won the judges' award, I'd like to think we cheered almost as loud as your team did.
Team 20 has always been focused on winning, but after we developed such a close relationship with your team I think we realized it could be almost as satisfactory to see another team win as well. So thank you 2791, for teaching us that sometimes the best feeling doesn't come from watching yourself excel but rather from watching others excel.
