First off, a huge thanks to teams 2729 and 1391. 2729 took a chance on us even after having robot issues for a good part of the regional. We came out in our last qualification match and had a great run with them.
The first elimination match with 1391 showed how this is truly a game of ball control and what happens when you have two robots that can pass balls effectively. 1391 - your vertical hanger was simple and effective, up there with the best. It's a shame things didn't work out for us, but I couldn't have been more proud of our alliance.

It's a shame we never got to be on an alliance together, and even more of a shame you guys didn't take home any team hardware. Just because you didn't win, it doesn't change what you've accomplished as a team, and you have every reason to be extremely proud of both your efforts and your results. Thanks for all the help you guys gave us, and congratulations to Kyle on his Dean's List selection.

Thanks Sean. I was immediately impressed by the friendliness and maturity of 1712. This being my first year with 357, I was proud to see the students not being discouraged even after a rough two days of competition. Kyle Tress receiving one of the Dean's list awards made everyone's day; it was great to be able to celebrate as a team through his achievement.
Thanks to everyone who made the Philadelphia regional a successful event.
