Best of luck to everyone, and I look forward to seeing all of you in Atlanta!

For all you Newton teams, Team 48 is just awesome. I've been to four events this season, and they are by far the best robot I've seen in two very important categories:

1. Defense. They have a powerful drivetrain, but more importantly they have a very smart driver, and a great coach. They don't just push people around, they push efficiently, and know when to do it.

2. Quick Hanger. These guys can play defense on the floor for 1:40, then go for the hang and make it with time to spare. I can't overstate this ability.

I played against them in Pittsburgh, and with them in Toronto. Take my word for it, this is a team that can carry an alliance to a championship. They're that good.
