CONGRATULATIONS 16, 25, and 180!

GREAT JOB TEAMS! You all well deserved this title, and played to your best! To all of the other teams, no matter if it was a matter of ranking, or field issues, you all did great! Everyone was a winner today.

Plus, I get a free shirt out of the win. Thanks!

Yeah congratulations to all three teams, especially 25, a fellow MAR team, and I hope we both meet up next year in nationals(:

Ha! I don't think even a world championship could convince him to reveal that.

It's like the Wu-Tang Secret of FIRST.*

I will never reveal the Shaun's Backpack Secret.

*Extra points to anyone who gets that reference. (I'm looking at you, Billfred.)

Congrats to every member of this alliance! Special congrats to team 25!

I know you all work tremendously hard for everything you earn.

Shaun did indeed reveal the contents of his backpack, but the webcast cut out as he did so. I have some pictures I'll upload once I get back!

Also, thanks for the congratulations, everyone! I'll write a much longer post later!

congrats on winning the world championship! you had the most complete alliance with great scoring and feeding and a (triple balance in your back pocket) and deserved regardless of the field issues winning from both the red and blue alliance side. I'd also like to give a shout out to 25 for representing MAR so well and to the whole alliance for not letting the new balls effect your accuracy because I know that was a big issue for our alliance. It was a lot of fun watching you play and I think I'm still in shock that 16 fell so far in the second round. congrats again

Had a great time competing with you on Galileo, and am very pleased to see you represent us well.

Tremendous job!

[Walter Deitzler]

I could have sworn 16 had won worlds before this...
Oh well, now they have! Congrats to the winning alliance! You truly did amazing this year.

Congrats!

Congrats! I thought we had a pretty low combined team number when we won champs (294+67+177=538), but putting together 180+16+25=221 is truly impressive!
