Re: 2016 Smoky Mountains Regional

On behalf of team 1466, I wanted to say that our team had a great experience at SMR this weekend. The finals between 3824-2481-4740 and 2614-1986-4264 were really competitive, and I was so happy to hear that all six teams involved in that high-level play qualified for worlds. It was great to see Mark Buckner win the Volunteer of the Year award for all he does to promote growth of FIRST in east TN.

Thanks to our alliance partners 2393 and 283 for their sharpshooting in quarter finals. I also have to say it was a pleasure to have paired with our neighbor 2393 for the third year in a row at SMR.

I wanted to specifically congratulate team 1710 on their Chairman's win and 1986 on their Engineering Inspiration win. I am relatively new to FRC and I coach a team that's about 75% sophomore or younger. I'm not sure if either of your teams have been out to Knoxville before, but I can tell you that the first impressions 1986 and 1710 made on my students were incredibly positive. A common topic of discussion among 1466 students and mentors this weekend was how much we admired our pit neighbor 1710's extensive and impactful outreach programs, and how well 1986's students could describe in detail the thought process and challenges behind design choices. I hope our teams get to cross paths again.
