Philly Champions - 177, 381, & 284

[EvanG]

I would also like to extend Pete's thanks, and state that all of team 177 is greatful for the amazing show that the teams put on at Philly. All the bots there were excellent and they were great competition.

I'd like to thank our alliance partners for helping us make it. 381 & 284, thanks for the hard work and good strategies. I'd also like to thank all the teams we competed against. Particularly, I'd like to thank 222,486, and 651 for the great show they helped put on. I thought all three robots were excellent and I wish you guys the best of luck on your future endeavours.

Also, i'd like to make an out of place thanks here; perhaps i'll make a new proper thread for it later because it well deserves it. Thank you TechnoKats for your great designs for the gearbox and omniwheels. While we modified both in various ways to fit our needs, I will not deny that those white papers you did were incredibly useful. The gearbox allowed us to push and run, and undoubtedly helped us significantly. Thanks guys, i'm sure many teams in FIRST have you to thank. Of course, the mechanical guys would know more so than me, but I just want to thank you for what i saw in action.

Congrats to all the teams who won awards, I look forward to seeing you all again at nationals.
