A HUGE thanks goes out to Dawn Lutz, she is AMAZING. I can't believe how much she does with positivity and isn't she a volunteer? She hooked us up with Catherine Jones and JCPenney, who has been the best, most involved sponsor we have ever had! Big thanks to Boeing. Also once again the Graingers saved us hundreds by putting us up in their house and cooking us food. Without all this monetary support this season would not have happened!!

Additional thanks goes out to 2945 BANG for helping us troubleshoot multiple problems both last year and this year. In particular, we want to give a shout out to the sophomore programmer, Zeb(?). Also, a huge thanks for performing as we knew they could as an alliance teammate.

Additional thanks goes out to Coronado 2996 for showing fantastic GP, especially for a 2nd year team. They hosted a great fact sharing session after their first regional, and also showed some extreme GP during the quarterfinals allowing us a timeout to try and fix our issues even though we were both battling for the semifinals. In particular we want to give a shout out to their team captian (?) and their mentor, Bryce.

Additional thanks goes out to 1332 SWIFT for offering us a wireless bridge (which is more than I can say for some teams who had extras at competition but didn’t want to part with them), and performing well as alliance teammates. Our arm design, which we scrapped during thursday due to most the day being spent on STUPID BUMPERS!! would have saved a solid day during design if we had used their idea of climbing on the bump and taking advantage of the shorter depth of the tower. nice work!

Also, a big thanks to the team that removed their chain tensioner to give to us for the elimination round. unfortunately, I LOST the info of the team number and where to send replacements, so to whomever this was, please email me so I can send you them!!!
If anyone else can help me remember, they were the west side of the middle pit row closest to the inspection area (weight and dimension checks)...
