Thank you to 217 and 67, Michigan State Champs!

On behalf of the Huskie Brigade I would like to express our thanks to the ThunderChickens and HOT for bringing us into your awesome alliance for the MSC. While it was painful to be a late pick in the draft, it was not painful at all to be allied with such great teams. We struggled with some technical issues in a few of our Q-matches, things we should have been better at. Thanks for still believing in us and our bot in such a deep field of good robots.

Paul and Adam, you guys are so good at running an alliance, and your ability to roll out creative strategy - and then execute it with your GREAT drivers and machines - was fun to experience. The brain trust behind us: Chris Hibner, Tom Nader and the HOT strategists and scouts, Mike Copioli, and those guys from so far away (a Texan and a Canadian) made up an incredible team.

Two things that really stick in my mind:

A moment of calm in a sea of chaos, brought to us by Mr. Enthusiasm himself, that's right, *calm* from Paul: He explained to us why/how we won the last match, and then asked us to stop, sit, be still for a few seconds. We did. It was good.

Early on, Paul reminded us (okay, TOLD us) that we could do more, play our role, play tougher. We did. This guy brought more out of us than I thought possible. Thank you for the boost.

Thanks to 217 and 67 for the ride!!

Ken
