Talking Thank you 1538, 1649 and 176!

Warning: Long post!
On behalf of Team 1503, the GM Spartonics, I would like to extend a huge thank-you to teams 1538, 1649 and 176 for being amazing alliance partners. I have individual thanks given below.

To 1538; The Holy Cows

Cows, you guys were simply amazing this weekend. You built an outstanding, and very capable robot. You guys played amazingly well, all weekend. It was really fun playing that last match of the quals against you guys, it sure was a lot of fun.

Every little part of your team showed excellence, and extreme competence. Every time I spoke to one of your team members, I had nothing but great things to speak of afterwards. Your team is a class act. It was an honor to play with a team that is for sure a role model for other FIRST teams.

I hope you guys make it into IRI, you definitely deserve to go play with the best of the best.

To 1649; EMS

You folks over at EMS also built one heck of a robot, it sure was fun to watch you guys all weekend. According to our scouting data, through the qualifications you guys scored the second most balls on average, second only to 1114. Averaging just over 15 balls a match, we knew you were going to be a force to reckon with. As far as we were concerned, we were quite surprised that a team of your caliber was not picked much earlier, in the 1st round.

Stuff breaks, we know it well. It can happen to anybody, and usually does at some point. It was unfortunate for it to happen at a major time of need, and we didn't want to call in a backup, because you guys did a fantastic job of playing defense, whereas you are usually a major scoring robot. It was heartbreaking, and I know you guys were really disappointed in the call, but we really appreciate that you guys were good sports about it.

It was a pleasure to work with you. I hope to see you guys in the future, and who knows; we could end up together once again. It was an honor to have you on this amazing alliance, you sure were awesome.

To 176; Aces High

Aces, you guys were consistently awesome all weekend long. I know, it sucks not to make the eliminations, which, in my opinion, you guys should have. You guys proved you were a force to contend with every match, playing exceptionally well with a high level of class.

As being the top seeded robot to miss eliminations, you were asked to be ready if a backup was needed. When we were in need, you guys jumped at the chance and were more than ready. This was extremely helpful, and well, it was just awesome. It was an honor to play with you, we couldn’t have asked for a better backup. We hope to play with you more in the future!

P.S. Can the blond haired driver/HP from 1538 please PM me? I heard his name, but I'm terrible with names. I wanted to arrange that swap we were talking about.

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
