Thank you to our awesome alliance partners; 2054 Tech Vikes you were unbelievable, your bot makes floor pick up look easy and you held the alliance up in matches where we stumbled. 904 D Cubed you guys were an great defensive bot. Thank you to both of you for joining our alliance!

3234, 1918, 4003, 4381, 68, 3546, 107, 74, and 85 you made for some very exciting elimination matches and made us work for every win.

Congratulations to 141 on their Chairman's Award, very well deserved!

Last but not least thank you to all the volunteers who helped make this event possible!

Thanks to 862 for picking us. We had our ups and downs in seeding and did not always look good and there were many excellent teams to choose from.

904 you guys really helped out on defense. I noticed some really good work in the semi-finals slowing down 68 who was amasingly fast and accurate.

There was not a single weak alliance in the eliminations and the outcome of each match almost made you hold your breath waiting to see who had won. None of the eliminations were blow outs. They all were close enough that you really didn't know who had won before the scores were announced. I told a mentor from the Comets that no matter who won the event, the other teams would have been beaten by their friends.

74, 85, 107 I was glad to see the Holland area alliance but you guys almost gave me heart failure in the quarter finals!!!

1918, 3234, 4003 you guys are awesome and how could that last match been any closer. Another second and there would have been a a third match.

A very well deserved Chairmans Award for the Wo-Bots team 141. You guys are great.

I also want to thank our hosts at GVSU, the planning commitee and the volunteers. This was a very well run event in a very good venue.
