First off, the volunteers, referees, and FIRST officials did a great job this year, especially dealing with all the field issues. They were there to help us every step of the way, including getting our robot inspected during the opening ceremonies ><. Although things did not go as we hoped this year (our bot faltered due to various minor issues), the entire Regional served as a huge learning experience for us.

I would like to congratulate teams 1676, 1418, and 1086 for the huge win! All of you guys deserve it! It seemed to be the perfect alliance, each robot complemented one another.

Also, teams 1895, 617, and 346 also did an amazing job! Going from the 7th seed all the way to Regional finalists is no easy task!

Team 122!! You guys are amazing. You were there whenever we needed anything and serve as the epitome of gracious professionalism and coopertition. Y'all deserved it!

Mr. Clarke from 1086: Congrats again on the WFFA!! After seeing your various interactions with our team and others, you no doubt deserved the award.

Special shout out to:

Team 3168. You guys kept our spirits up throughout competition, helped us whenever we needed it. Congratulations again on the Rookie All Star!! I can't wait to see all of you guys at worlds!! Love you Mama Tree!!!

Teams 75, 2108, 1137, 617: Thanks for all of your help with our Robot during the Regional. Whether it was our programming, mechanical issues, or tools that we needed, all of you guys were there to help us out! Thanks.

I'm sure I left out a bunch of teams that helped us, so thanks everyone!!! You really made this Regionals great!! We could not have got our bot up and running for Worlds without you!

See you soon!
