Jim-

It was a pleasure playing with your team!!! When team 648 and I were doing our third alliance selection member, I really pushed for your team over some of the other prospects. It turned out that your team was an amazing valuable asset to the alliance and I wouldn't have traded your team for any other team out there. Your team showed gracious professionalism the entire time and it brought you all the Sportsmanship Award. Another thing I thought was awesome is that I, like your team, am a christian and after our 2nd semifinal match victory I saw your team praying. I quickly ran over and asked if I could join in the prayer and I was included in what I thought was a great moment just to thank God for allowing us to do well in the tournament. So, I would like to return the thank you for being a strong competitive team that is very open in their christianity. I was proud to have you in our alliance!!!

Sincerely,
Brent Herold
Team 79 President

It was an excellent experience all around, I believe. The way all three teams came together to perform was something that we, as a team, haven't seen before. It was an honor to work and compete alongside both of you. Although we didn't take the championship, I think we all put forth our personal best. We really shined out there. In all honesty, it's those things that drive home the spirit of gracious professionalism and show others that we have what it takes to rise to any occasion, under any circumstances. On behalf of 648, the Q.C. Elite, I would like to say that we all appreciate everything you've done for us, and been through with us. Good luck in the future. See ya next year!

Honestly, in my own opinion, i think our 3 Robots worked awesomely(new word) together. Since i've been on this team(648), this was probably the best alliance i've been on in the finals. I was scouting all day Friday, and then until match 52 on Saturday...and i ALWAYS ended up scouting 79 for some reason..but i definitely wasn't complaining. You guys had a awesome Robot, and Friday that playing field was yours. I was glad to push your team on our scouting sheets, cause it was definitely an excellent decision to pick you.

Team 107, we had an awesome time with you at the hotel. I usually am the team garbage can, and try to finish whatever there is left over with the pizza..but i guess it just wasn't my night. Even with your help we still had left over, and me and my roomies took care of it later (lol). But picking your team was a great decision, and i believe that it was the best alliance we could have had.

I don't think we would came anywhere near to stopping that 1st seat alliance as we did, without you guys as our alliance...anyways...i think i'm done now. Once again, thanks...and good to you all at nationals (cause we can't make it :-\)...and Krunch, good luck to you with the Extreme Makeover..i thought that was just awesome!...oh yeah, one more..thanks 107 for cheering with us!

I feel the same way man!!! I'm sorry we will miss you guys at nationals, but we will try and win it for you (lol, piece of cake right!!). I hope to see your team in the future and good luck!!!
