First 222 would like to thank our partners in the eliminations. 1503 thank you so much for having faith in what looked to be a less reliable robot(see below). Thank you also for doing a great job of moving balls forward. 2252 thank you for playing some great defense and clearing balls forward from the 3rd zone. I only wish we could have gone further.

M. Mellot has stated my thoughts almost to a T. We were fighting for more time the entire qualifications. This led to some dum dum mistakes and an inoperable kicker for most of our matches. I thank the kind queing crew who were so patient with us.

Finally congrats to 1114, 63 and 117 for taking home the blue banner. 1114 has an excellent robot that will be a force to be reckoned with all season.
