We had not made it past the quarter finals at a regional since 2003 and after failing to make it into the alliance selections at our home regional(Granite State) we were ecstatic that we were recognized at a regional where we were foreigners. This was an extremely emotional regional for myself as I am most likely retiring as a mentor for the time being due to time commitment issues so I would also like to take this time to thank my team for going wild in the stands when I asked them to, and for my drivers, Rob and Drew, for being the best drivers our team has had in my 6 years on the team.

Thank you guys for playing awesome defense. We were so close to getting 88 78 and 1099 in the semi-finals. I think it came down to one tube, and we left it to go for the minibot. So close. I remember looking at our list of good defense bots during alliance selections, and luckily you guys hadn't been picked yet and we got our pick!
