Yeah, 1540, 2036, and 1584 made an awesome alliance in Colorado! My favorite way to describe our win is, "With 1540 Flaming Chickens, 1584 Pirates, and 2036 Black Nights, how could we lose?"

However, I can see we have to step it up in order to compete in the future at Championships. Even our excellent Colorado Alliance would have been challenged by most of the semi-finalists. We also can't forget to pull out a safety pin before the match, which prevents us from doing the most important thing, which is kicking the balls into our offense. Dumb!

So, should our teams start now, planning our swarm robot alliance for 2011, where 3 to 6 robots and teams are designed to complement each other perfectly? I bet out of the top 10 seeds 5 would be in there. A good strategy should win the regional, and then do really well in St. Louis.

Rambotics, your Chairman's Award in Denver, and the Judges Award at the Championships are awesome. Lots of people thank you for being an inspiration! We'd love to work with and learn from you guys anytime!

It's a bummer it will be so long before our teams hang out again!

Sincerely,
Team 1584
Ah, I DID respond earlier, but didn't think it posted. I now see it--sorry!
