However, it wasn't without help from MARS. 4740s bumpers got destroyed and almost had to bow out of the finals so MARS stepped up in a big way and helped us get them back on the field. Look up gracious professionalism in the dictionary and it will say MARS.

Thanks Lonnie. 2614 and 3824 partnered to run the help desk at SMR this year and together we got a lot of teams out onto the field. Even I had some time to get out into other teams pits this year and had the pleasure of helping 4740 get their drive drive working on Thursday/Friday. The best part was the look on their team's face during the handshake in the finals. Those students had a great experience and I look forward to seeing them in St. Louis - they know how to drive a robot! Guess MARS will have to come back to SMR next year and battle it out with RoHawktics yet again The matches are always intense, but I like it better when we team up!
