548's many many thanks!

[Grim Tuesday]

When we saw that 121 score, we were terrified to play you guys in the finals. We were right to be scared, and a great alliance moved on to Einstein. The most "FIRST-ey" thing I saw at this competition happened with 548:

When we got to the Newton finals, we moved our team to sit with our fellow finalists, 68 and 330. Coincidentally, this was right next to 548 as well. If this was anything other than a FIRST Robotics Competition, that would be unheard of, but I struck up a conversation with a member of 548, and all were very personable. I will never forget when, during those close finals matches, we started a "blue alliance" chant, and you guys started a "red alliance" chant. Right next to eachother, both teams having the times of their lives, graciously. Also, I took some pictures of members of our team dancing with members of yours right before the finals.

Also, when I made my Championships bracket, I predicted that 548 would win Newton. It was well deserved, and I have admired your robot throughout the entire season.
