From Team 1114

[Karthik]

Team 1114 had a wonderful Championship experience and would like to thank all those who made it memorable. Thanks go out to, but are not limited to:

Team 70 - We were honoured to be selected by you. Your team exhibited great class throughout the weekend, and were wonderful to work with. Who knows how far we could have gone if your launcher had not of broke. You have a lot to be proud of, keep your heads high and we look forward to working with you again. I'm sorry we couldn't win this.

Team 48 - From the moment the divisions were announced, we knew we wanted to work with you. Our teams have had an amazing relationship over the years, and they were made stronger in Atlanta. You played your hearts out, and I'm sorry we couldn't take you further.

Teams 503, 451 & 1139 - That was an amazing division final. You earned that victory, and represented our division well on Einstein.

Team 1305 - You gave us the scare of our lifetime in the quarters. You proved once again that you had the best defensive robot in all of FIRST. In general your team is the epitome of class, and a model for all of us. By far you are our favourite Canadian team. I cannot wait until our teams cross paths again.

Team 296 - The first ever Canadian Champion. I'm so proud of you for being the team to break through.

Team 217 - The championship could not have gone to a more deserving team. I've spent a lot of time with the Thunder Chickens this year, and they have an amazing program. Paul, you're one of my best friends in this program, if someone was going to win the championship other than us, I'm glad it was you. You are an amazing coach, and an inspirational leader.

Team 111 - You've been inspiring for the past 9 years. Congratulations on a well deserved Chairman's award.

The Team 188 "Honourary Simbots" (Adam McLeod, Jeff Li, Geoff Price, Shankar Manoharan, Carina Chan) - Thank you for joining our team in Atlanta. You are some of best young strategic minds in this program, and you made the entire event much more enjoyable for our entire team. You're always welcome on this ship.

Team 771 - Your email of support on Friday night meant a lot to our team. This year has been hard for us in many ways, but knowing that we've inspired a team like yours makes it all worthwhile.

Team 1114 - I would personally like to thank all the students and mentors on my team. I've said this before, but I really think we have the most amazing crew of people in FIRST. Every time I think of moving on, the energy and determination of all the Simbots keeps me coming back. We must move on from this weekend, and get ready for an even bigger and better year. I love you all.
