From 294: Thanks and Congrats!

[akeisic]

294 obviously had an awesome year this year! Our team felt like celebrities after the matches with everyone congratulating us! The FIRST community is great and we're glad to be a part of it Thank you all!

Naturally, we couldn't have done it without a great deal of help...

Thank you to 67 and 177 for joining our alliance in Newton! It was an absolute pleasure playing with you guys! I think in every elimination round we had a slightly different strategy to match our opponents and we all executed perfectly! I can't wait to watch the videos!

We also have enormous appreciation and respect for our opponents 1114, 469 and 2041. You guys were an incredibly powerful alliance! 1114 was very gracious by load testing our batteries throughout the competition - including the elimination rounds. You guys surely represent FIRST well.

We also want to thank all the teams that loaned their batteries to us to pull us through the eliminations: 100, 166, 585, 702, 2839, and 3128. Thanks to 399 for offering their batteries after the Newton quarter finals as well. For our friends near LA who lent us batteries, your batteries are safely on their way home in our crate. We'll return them to you as soon as we can.

We also want to thank a couple of teams in particular for their advice and support: 100, 217, 330, 359, 968, 980, 1717. When we needed some advice, we could rely on your support.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THE FANTASTIC SEASON!

Our students had some fun putting together this video in thanks to Northrop Grumman. Maybe we should switch to video production...
