On behalf of BX, I would like to second Hannah's thoughts! We were so thrilled to be asked to join this alliance. GO HOT WINGS EXPRESS!!

Team 67 - You are a legend. We thank you for believing in us when our rankings didn't back it! We came to Detroit with what we thought was a top bot, but found out that globe motors were illegal (Don't know how we missed that) so we spent all of Thursday trying to switch to FP motors - which of course we didn't bring because we weren't using. We spent Friday morning finishing a new gear box. We spent most of Friday trying to get our conveyor belts working again. We were so thrilled to hear you call our number! It was an honor standing beside you! Congratulations for your victory and thank you for helping us win our first banner!!!!

Team 51 - The HB and CD have always been two of our favorite teams. We felt your pain in giving up your names and were SO excited to see you in Detroit and hear how you have successfully combined your teams. We are so proud of you for overcoming circumstances and making a new name for yourselves! You all have so much to be proud of! Congratulations to you all!!!!

Team 1023 - I am so proud of you for overcoming the obstacles we faced and remaining positive and committed to our team and bot! Congratulations team!

To all of the teams at Detroit - 1023 enjoyed another fantastic FIRST experience with you all. We are thankful for all of you that stepped up to help us, stopped by to talk with us and for the kind words an encouragement throughout the whole competition! FIRST ROCKS!

Thanks to all of the volunteers, judges and coordinators and to FIM for making this another amazing competition. Looking forward to TROY and FRANTICALLY trying to earn $4,000 for states. Anyone have any great ideas for earning quick cash??? Please share with me if you do!
