FIM Kentwood District

[Jarren Harkema]

First, we want to thank 3875 Red Storm Robotics and East Kentwood High School for a phenomenally run event. Everything was smooth and well organized.

A HUGE shoutout to our alliance partners 85 B.O.B. and 244 RoboDawgs 3D. We cannot thank you guys enough for carrying the alliance as far as we got. We wish we could have caught that motor quick connect issue sooner! B.O.B. - we were thrilled that you accepted our invitation, and you delivered on what you promised every match. Robodawgs 3D, we were blessed that you were still available to join our alliance, you contributed immensely to our success.

Another shoutout to the winning alliance! That was definitely a well deserved win. 2054’s autonomous was incredible to watch. Congrats 3620 for picking them up, it was the right choice. We also want to commend the 2767 Stryke Force human player. Those litter throws were insane! We got a little worried in those quarterfinals when one after another noodle kept flying over onto our side of the field.

Last, but certainly not least, we want to thank all of the tournament volunteers that helped make this event possible. So many people give so many hours to make tournaments happen, and we want to make sure you know how much we appreciate it.

Thank you all for the kind words for our team. We were incredibly honored to achieve the Chairman’s Award - there were so many high quality teams at the Kentwood tournament and the Chairman’s Award could have been given to so many of them.
