Rob - As always, it was a pleasure working with the Iron Devils to help you out with your battery problems. After all, you did loan us some pistons early on to help us get our kicker going during the build-season. Storm Robotics is proud of our sister school team and its success this past weekend, make sure you spread that word to the other Iron Devils. Remember, we're a few miles away if you ever need anything!

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.
From Team 2729, a HUGE thanks to both 357 and 1391 for being such wonderful members of the alliance. 357 - after that last qualification match, we knew that we could rely on you to be our striker and you definitely pulled through. 1391 - Holy cow (or moose), what a boot from that far zone, a clutch hanger, and a great moving robot. Ryan, you are absolutely right in saying that we couldn't have been more proud of that alliance. The best part of that alliance was that you were all awesome people to work with, it was easy for all of us to communicate and we had a TON of fun back there.

TO ALL OF THE TEAMS
Thank you for being the awesome teams that you are. Yes, the arena is tight, but everyone totally demonstrated class and gracious professionalism throughout the entire competition. Keep up the good work Philadelphia! You always continue to impress and raise the bar of excellence.

TO THE VOLUNTEERS, REFEREES, AND JUDGES
Thank you for working with all of the teams provide them with the best experience imaginable. You know you're doing an awesome job when we need to slow the competition down a little bit because we're moving to fast

BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE this next year. I am looking forward to seeing you all in the future!
