I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that made this event another special one for me. Thanks to 188 and Huskie Brigade for picking us and playing in the Archemeides finals. Congrats to the winning alliance, sorry we had to lose to you on Archemedes but happy you went all the way. I was hoping to see you at the wrap party but there was a lot of area to cover. Hope you are all back at home safe and sound.
Congrats to 469, I knew you had a great robot at GLR and you proved it this weekend! Congrats to the Martians, you are a great bunch of people and fearsome competitors.
Thanks to all the people that came by and introduced themselves. Thanks to all the students that showed me their robot and intelligently explained all the cool things they had. Thanks to the Thunder Chickens for breakfast and to all the FIRST staff that worked hard to make this event a success. You can’t imagine how many volunteers it takes to pull this event off. They all work long hours and most attendees don’t even realize they are there. Thanks to all the judges, field teams and pit vounteers. And special thanks to all the competitors for being gracious professionals, saying hi on the escalators and being understanding when things got crowded. Hope to see you all next year.
The WildStang team was great! I want to say a big thanks to team 111 for all the help they gave us (Team 1002) before our first match on Friday. We were having some electrical issues and you guys did not hesitate to lend a hand. We were glad to be paired up with you to start the Championships out with a win in our first match. I’m looking forward to being in the same division again. 
So glad we hooked up. One of my fond memories is watching you hook up with our team kids and discussing the robot. All of you chatting away. I think the kids were thrilled talking to you.
Wish I had more time. Please encourage them to ask me questions in any of the tech forums or PM me. Always happy to talk tech.
Thanks to 111 for being awesome partners. Our scout/pick team was practically jumping at the end because we had the chance to pick such an awesome robot which we had dreamd of being partnered with since the highlight video came out. Thanks to 65 for everything they did in the second match as well, with perfect strategy and great execution. I am confident in saying had 111 not run out of power, we could have gone all the way. Thanks to both teams for making 188’s first foray into the pickers at nationals a great one. Hope to see you all in Wonderland if you can make the trip up!
On behalf of team 65, I want to thank the force from the north for picking us. We were happy to fill a role in the alliance!
Thats a pretty tough spot to be in, your first nationals picking experience and going up against Beastly offense and Martian defense. I was impressed by the calm and organized approach that your young strategy team took. Nice job guys!

Unfortunately one of last years team members couldn’t be there because she is at Queens Univ. I thought that you should know that Yan Yan thinks that team 111 is the best and she asked us to say hi and get a picture. Well we did better than that and got to play with one of FIRST’s best teams. Yan Yan eat your heart out !!!
Thanks also goes to the Huskie Brigade. Another fine partner and now friend that we have met on our journey. Thanks for your help and Ken we gotta talk some more. I learn soooo much.
