Well, there are many people who me and my team would like to thank. This event, for me, was fast-paced and exciting. In no prioritized order:
Team 964 --> Our pit neighbor, for letting us borrow your tools. (Sorry, the number/name slips me)
Team 964 --> Teams 48, 250, and all the others who’ve helped with programming, providing need equipment, or generally assisted us. GP is asking for something then having twenty people answer graciously.
Team 964 --> All of our qualifications alliance partners, for putting up with our somewhat-hard-to-control robot.
Me --> Ms. Carol Galica for permitting an internet connection for the webcast, Frank B. and Travis Hoffman from Delphi E.L.I.T.E. for letting me help run the webcast.
Me --> William (Team 48) for buying my lunch Saturday. Thanks dude.
Me --> The Hugging Attack crew, for giving me good laughs during the Eliminations. It got crazy, but we live for that.
Me --> Team 48 for letting me be a temporary E.L.I.T.E. after 964 didn’t make selections. You guys rock!
Team 964 --> Volunteers, Judges, and Refs. Without you all, this event wouldn’t be running as smooth. Probably not at all. Your time, hard work, and effort are appreciated, especially during the huge delay on Thursday.
Me --> Bedford High School’s Athletic Department, for letting me use the bearcat suit.
Me --> MORE Robotics, this event spectator-wise was pretty dead. After a while, you and 612 got pretty spirited, and kept this place alive. Your mascot girl was nearly crying when you all “waved” lighters during “We Are The Champions” (I believe it was).
Me --> Last, but certainly not least, ALL THE OTHER MASCOTS!!! You guys were awesome, especially during the conga lines and the final run. Looking forward to seeing you all next year!
