Bus accident?

[Robert Cawthon]

On behalf of Team 1802, I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Team 3125. I realize that it is going to be difficult to accept your loss quickly. You may find it difficult to get back in the groove. If there is anything that our team can do, drop me an email and I will do my best to help. I am sure that every other TEAM in first is standing by waiting for some word as to how we can be of assistance. Just let us know. God Bless.

[Dick Linn]

Likewise, if I can be of assistance to the family or the team, please email me.

[Smoores]

They will be in our prayers

The driver of the bus was driving out of class. He had the license, but not for that vehicle weight.

From the table in the corner, they could see a world reborn, and they rose with voices ringing, and I can hear them now!
The very words that they had sung became their last Communion on the lowly barricade…at dawn…
Oh my friends, my friends forgive me, that I live and you are gone. There's a grief that can't be spoken…there's a pain goes on and on.
Phantom faces at the window, phantom shadows on the floor, empty chairs at empty tables, where my friends will meet no more.
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me what your sacrifice was for! Empty chairs at empty tables, where my friends will sing no more...

The words have already been said, far more eloquently than I could ever say.

On behalf of Team 1124, I would like to offer our condolences to Team 3125. Speaking as someone who barely knew Vikas, it is hard enough to process this tragedy, I can't even come close to imagining the feelings of his family, friends, and teammates. If there is ANYTHING at all you need, just say the word. Stay strong Team 3125!

On behalf of CRyptonite Robotics, we would like to extend our condolences to Parikh family for their loss. Even though we did not have the honor of knowing Vikas, his loss is the loss of a friend and teammate. We wish your family the best in these sorrowful times and hold you and Vikas in our thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
CRyptonite Robotics Team 624
