I would like to extend my congratulations even more to all the teams in the finals and to 870, 271, and 358 for winning it.

However, I would like to especially recognize team 1468 for being the deciding factor on the 329, 353, 1468 alliance. I said it to one member of your team and I would like to make it publicly known that your actions in the last seconds of the the tied match 3 was absolutely heroic and the reason for the tie. If there was a highlight reel for that regional, you would definitely be the #1 video.

I assume 1468 is a second year team? Gotta love to see you guys competing with some of the best established teams in the northeast.

Actually we're a 3rd year team. Either way we had a great year considering all the hardships we went through. McArthur was the only other Rookie team when we joined. A bit sad that they started the grants/scholarships for the Rookie award teams right AFTER we got all 3 Rookie awards.

Thanks.

Pat Hughes of Team 514 won the Woodie Flowers award this year. The most deserving mentor there in my opinion. He works hard for the kids in both the FRC and FLL programs as well as related areas.

Frank and Joan Saracino were joint winners of the Volunteer of the Year award.
