Note that the discussion was not a done deal. More scenarios were played out with their pros and cons. And we had about 5 mins to put together our entire pick list--they really compressed the time between the last match and selections.

SVR is always an exciting event, and this year was no different. Thanks to all the volunteers there who make the event possible.

Thanks to 852 for picking us, and 6036 for joining our alliance. It was really fun playing with both of you, and I'm very glad you were both able to repair your robots in time for the second match. 6036, I'll always remember your offer to help get 852 working and call in a backup robot in place of your own. Knowing this was your first event ever and possibly last event of the year, considering giving up the chance to play must have been extremely difficult. I hope you enjoyed the last match--I know I was really glad you were able to make it.

Talking about great rookie teams, I'd like to echo what has been said about 5924 and 5940--awesome robots, awesome teams, and good luck at champs!

Congratulations to the winning alliance, 1678, 254, and 1662, and the finalist alliance, 971, 368, and 3303. Finals were really exciting to watch with so many great robots on the field.

I'm glad you went with the list that you did--it meant that for once, I correctly predicted an entire alliance. (Although I did sort of cheat and make it on Saturday night so I had an idea of how seeding would turn out)
