I dont know hope many people from Enigma Team 356 read or even post on Delphi, but just in case on behalf of team 1077 I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I dont know what we would have done without you guys. No words can ever begin to describe just how thankful we truly are! We owe you so much. It was great being paired up with you guys in Finals, we had a blast!! Hope to see you next year!!

For those of you who are just reading this thread and wondering why I am saying thank you to team 356 its because of them that my team will be attending Nationals. This past weekend we attend the Peachtree regional and it was going great! We went into Semifinals with team 356 and 507 and did a great job. After words one of our team coordinators realizes that he left the shipping info back in Miami… So we had 2 options
a: leave the bot there and not attend Nationals
b: find about 600 bucks on the spot to have it shipped…
money had already been a problem this season and 600 bucks was not going to drop of of the sky.
Then a member from 356 our alliance came to our pit with bucket of money. My team was in utter shock, we had no clue where to begin. She had gone around the pits and got as much for us as she could of. She also told us that her team was trying to change their FedEx papers into our names, due to they fact that they were not going to be able to compete in the Nationals. After talking to a few people and pulling strings… they did it. We were able to send our bot off to Houston. Its teams like 356 that make FIRST what it is today! So Kate and the rest of 356 thank you guys sooooo much!!!
What can I say that Andrew hasn’t said already? LINK ]
You guys and Solid Orange (507) were outstanding alliance partners and inspiring FIRST teams. Even though we didn’t end up qualifying to compete at Nationals, we’ll be sending at least two of our team members to represent the team and vollunteer our support for the event. I know for sure that I will be there. It would have been a real shame if we didn’t get to see you guys there and cheer you on. Can’t wait till Houston!
