We had the privilege of running with them for one match on Saturday and although we didn't win, we were extremely impressed by their robot and more importantly their team character. In the very next round, they knocked us off the platform but were kind enough to offer help to get us running again. They lent us degreaser and helped us get our broken winch locking collar changed just in time for our next match. Congratulations 1114, we will cheer for you at the other events!

Exactly! Team 30 also had the privilege of working with Team 1114 on Friday and we loved their enthusiasm. They had an amazing robot and were incredibly supportive of us throughout the match. We had not done quite so well on Friday morning and weren't feeling so confident about our robot, but they were ecstatic about the win and were adamant about giving us as much credit for it as possible.

Their attitude was positive and infectious and really boosted our enthusiasm, sending us on a 6 game winning streak. They were friendly and outgoing to us for the rest of the regional, talking to us about standings and entertaining my stupid questions about how their drive train worked.

In other words, I was really impressed.

Congratulations guys, you not only have an awesome robot but an awesome team and we were thrilled for you when you won!

On the same note we'd like to congratulate Team 311 for their incredible robot and Team 229, another group who entertained more stupid questions about drive trains. =)

Congratulations all around to everyone at SBPLI, it was a great regional and I thought there was a great amount of spirit and enthusiasm.
