SBPLI Thank You Thread

Well, I'll start this one off.
As a veteran team with an unorthodox strategy, 870's qualification score and rankings were awful. So awful in fact, that at the end of qualifiers we were ranked dead last at the end of qualifiers at SBPLI. Because of this, a larger than normal thank you is owed to teams 527 and 1796 for picking us and forming the regional champion alliance. All our teams fit so well together, what with your scoring and our defense, and we are so grateful to you and your scouts that you picked us up out of the dumps and gave us entry to the playoffs where our robot finally managed to shine the way we intended it to. We'll see you guys at St. Louis.

Beyond that initial thank you, we also want to extend thanks to all the teams that helped us by providing mechanical parts, expertise, seats, and support. With luck as bad as ours was in the qualifiers, when we heard other teams cheering for us to start eliminations it really helped to buoy our spirits and get us back on our game.

Thanks are also due to all the volunteers at the regional who were all so supportive and helpful, especially considering the numerous technical problems that were had at the field. Mark McLeod, I'm looking at you.

One final thank you to all the teams' robots that we might have injured or broken during playoffs, qualifiers, or even in balancing the bridge. We're sorry! We never intended to hurt you, and we are grateful you all continued to play nice with us all the same. We are looking forward to St. Louis.

In conclusion,
Thanks to anybody I left out. 870 has had a bit of a dry spell in championships recently, and this victory re-affirmed our confidence in ourselves, which is more important than anything else.
