[Mr V]

Congratulations, I can't think of any one more deserving of the Woodie Flowers award. Besides being an inspiration to his team together they have done much to lift the level of teams in the region. I can say our program likely would not be where we are today w/o the work of Mr Steele and the Skunkworks team. In our rookie year, before my time, w/o their gracious professionalism we likely wouldn't have made on the field. They are also quite gracious with their resources having essentially an open door policy at their practice field as noted by the Saint's Robotics member. Since then our sights have been set on emulating their team and rising to their level. Our entire team was quite sad that we didn't get the chance to compete with and/or against such an awesome team. A team that certainly wouldn't be at the level they are w/o the efforts of Mr Steele. Congratulations again and we look forward to competing with and/or against you in Portland.
