Thank you very much for your kind words Team 399 and Looking Forward. We are a brand new team this year (as with every year), and I wondered at the beginning how we would be able to to compare to last year's team. They fell to clearly the best team last year (1114), so I didn't think we could do much better.

It is a great honor to be named a LOCK among teams with such tiny numbers. I just hope we can live up to these grand predictions. Team 1717 is very excited to go to Atlanta and see all the legendary teams there. You won't see us again afterward though, next year's team will have to make it by themselves

399, I remember watching your scissor lift as a Junior in San Diego. Your robot this year is efficient and deadly with spectacular driving. Congratulations on a well-deserved win in Colorado. This year at LA was a lot of fun, and I will make sure to tell next year's juniors about the love we have for our orange friends from Lancaster.
