Supporting the FIRST organization through growing pains

[shawnz]

I could hardly stand to see Dr. Flowers while he was reading his lines. Him and Mr. Kamen have sunk so much into this one day that it's unbelievable. There was nothing they or anyone else there could have done. This is probably the kind of situation that they have nightmares about. I really wish I could thank them personally for keeping their composure throughout the whole event.

I take solace in the fact that the whole ride up to Einstein was amazing for everyone involved. We got to see an all-Canadian alliance (with a rookie team!) make it. 1114 and 2056 had a legendary finals match at GTR-W. I got to see some of the most amazing machines I ever have, and I've learned the most of any season yet (which seems to be the trend).

Thank you everyone at FIRST!
