Remember the Alamo

[Jeff Waegelin]

Meredith,

It was an honor and a pleasure to get to work with an amazing team like the Bomb Squad. Your team certainly helped to make my first event as a 148 mentor a very memorable one! Working with your scouting/strategy team was a fantastic experience - we were on the same page right from the beginning, and I was continually impressed with their knowledge, experience, and professionalism. Getting to work so closely with a team I've admired for so long really made the Alamo Regional something special.

I'd also like to give a shout-out to Team 3481, the Brandeis BroncBotz. You guys were awesome out there, and shut down some pretty challenging opponents. We couldn't have done it without you! It's been really amazing to see your progress as a team throughout the whole season, from visiting with us in the build season, to playing like a wily veteran out there on the field in the eliminations. We're very proud to have done what we can to help a team I'm sure will be another Texas powerhouse someday soon!

It was an amazing weekend, and I don't think I could have asked for two better teams to share it with. Thanks for all that you've done, and we'll see you in St. Louis!

The Bomb Squad rocks! They brought us our first taste of the Finals all those years ago, and since then we've been hungry. A small part of our 2011 NJ win is theirs.

I will miss them. They had a convenient end pit and by Thursday late morning, I was already texting/calling/or having pit admin track someone down for me and the general statement was: meet me/Jane at Bomb Squad. Kind of like meeting at South Congress and Live Oak. Everyone knew where to meet me. Watching them work on the robot was really fun and funny after a while. They never stop, except to answer a question, provide assistance, or listen to me tease.

I will miss them. They are a joy to be around.

And I saw in the newspaper that today is the 175th anniversary of the Alamo.

Yes, you are correct. They mentioned that several times during speeches at the event, and such.
