My regards and sincere thanks to both team 217 and 469. Besides having outstanding robots (217 hasn't gotten the credit they deserve for the elim results, and 469 deserves all the credit they've gotten) both teams are full of a lot of great people.

We wouldn't have been available to be picked if 469 hadn't given us some great technical help during qualifying. Our robot was glitching all day before we finally got straightened out in our 2nd to last match. Then both teams were very gracious with parts and an excellent strategy during elims. Our best matches of the day came in elimination round -- a credit to the perseverance of our students and help from our fellow competitors.

Looking forward to seeing both teams in Troy. We're going to be a lot better, but I'm sure so will the competition. Our students had a great time and are glad we could contribute to a little bit of history in the making. It couldn't have been more fun to set picks and let the big guys do the scoring -- prolifically!
