Also, there were no tiebreaker matches. All matchups were decided in 2 (other than the 3rd place matchup, which was a single match)

Told you all we would be in the mix
But really thanks for the wonderful day and very well ran event. Also thank you to our Alliance 3184 Blaze Robotics, 4215 Tritons, and 1816 The Green Machine for trusting in us as your alternate bot during Alliance Selections and bringing us onto the floor to attempt to nudge off that very strong #1 alliance. If we could go a few more rounds at it.......

It was also really nice to see that Isaac had recovered enough to attend. My wife was sorority sisters with Isaac's mom so our family has been keeping him in our thoughts.

Huge shout out to the number 3 alliance! Especially my old team, 4215! Awesome job getting through to the finals! My first competition away from the team and I was definitely experiencing FIRST withdrawal. Still got to help with scouting remotely from all the way here in Canada!

Great job to all the teams today! congrats to 2052, 2987, 4536, and 2855 on the win!

Thank you to Roseville Area High School, the Firebears, and the volunteers for making this event possible. Special thanks to Tom L. and the FireBears mentors as their vision and dedication have made this event possible for so many years.

It was great to see the college students from NDSU and UofM working the event - the strength and future of MNFIRST grows with the work from these young adults! Steve B. did an excellent job working with new announcers and emcees.

A lot of smiling faces in the crowd and in the pits - another great MRI, kudos to you team 2846!

Team 2847 was very honored to be chosen, unfortunately we could not stay for the finals due to other conflicts.

It was a great event and we had the chance to try 5 different drivers at this event. It was a great learning opportunity for a team that is basically re-building!

Looking forward to the Mini-Minnie event to give the drive team more time!
