Congrats to not only the winners and finalists of Kettering Kickoff, but also to all who participated in today’s competition. As usual, all of the matches were enjoyable to watch and made my first time as a referee all the more enjoyable. 
How did team 1567, the Shockabots do?

The Shockabots were a great team and won the Long Shot Award. They had a tough time getting to Michigan as rain impeded their driving. It was nice to see an East Coast team come to Michigan to take on the Midwest Teams. I hope the Shockabots enjoyed themselves and bring more East Coast Teams with them next year to Kettering Kickoff.
Thank you to ChiefDelphi 47 and 5 Alive for being our alliances and doing such a great job, it was a pleasure working with you.
Also a big thank you to all the volunteers at the competition.
Looking forward to seeing you all again at the 2006 season.
