Hey Terry! I just wanted to say thank you to you and your team. That hub you loaned us (and I do mean loaned because I've got a replacement to give you in Raleigh) allowed us to get through the event with a functional arm. We couldn't have done it without you!

The Zebracorns enjoyed the event and we're excited to see what happens next year with NC switching to a district model. We might yet be back but we'll have to wait and see.

And a big thank you to the announcers and refs and the FTAs! You guys were all on top of it! It was a fun event for us if not a bit stressful for the team but we made it through and learned a lot in the process. We also brought home the creativity award, which was also a welcome surprise!

Also, if you were working the field and saw our awesome glowing flag with LEDs then you weren't seeing things... it really does light up! We got more than a few folks by surprise with that one!

It's all good...we'll need something soon enough. I was about to ask you for a left Denso window motor (gave out our spare in Palmetto, then forgot to take them off for the practice bot before we bagged) but we found one being used as a door-stop, or a paperweight or something!

A friend of our team happened to be in the Myrtle Beach area and saw our team on the front page of the local newspaper...recognized the bright pink shirts. The paper's site has lots of good pictures from the event:
