Recorded can burglar times and special thanks after CMP

[Abhishek R]

This alliance was full of inspiration for me.

118 - Best team I have ever seen, hands down. I've had the opportunity to work closely with all of their students, and their team is nothing short of amazing. Cheering them on was the highlight of this championship for me, their win was long overdue.

1678 - In 2013, 624 failed to qualify for the world championships. I had TBA up on my TV, and I was watching all 4 fields intently, from my house. When it came around to the Curie alliance selections, I saw what looked like one of the coolest logos in FIRST in the number one alliance captain position - it was the Citrus Circuits. Immediately afterwards, they must have gone through 3 or 4 of the biggest names in the field, who all declined them, choosing to form their own alliances. 1678 fought hard, and made it to Einstein anyway that year. The next year, they came into CMP as an assisting machine, locking up the number one seed, cruising onto Einstein again, proving 2013 was no fluke. Then in 2015, they're back again, with the most dominating can grabbers to take the field this year! To see how quickly they've rose to the challenge is really inspiring, and this Championship win was well deserved.

1671 - What an awesome robot. To imagine they almost missed out on CMP this year...I really wanted to see that autonomous in action though. They were the lock holding the alliance together, quietly putting up their 42 point stacks in the background. I enjoyed watching 1671 compete at Sacramento and still can't get over how they were able to pick you up on that alliance...

5012 - Beautiful looking bot with an awesome team behind it. I'm sure big things will be coming from the Gryffingear House soon!
