Vier Left received a wonderful surprise last week. A chance to end their season and team journey at the FIRST Championship, in Detroit. It was great way to finish up.

The team and robot performed admirably, but what was most impressive to me, was that while the team competed their hardest at each and every turn, they understood the event was about more than wins, losses, and judging nominations. It was about seeing old friends and making new ones, It was about learning to enjoy the moment.

I am very proud of the way that the team treated the world championship as a celebration of their journey in FIRST.

The team is truly retired now, the five seniors can now consider themselves FIRST alumni. I know that they all have something more to contribute to FIRST, and I look forward to hearing about their new journeys, when they come back and volunteer.

For some members of this team, it has been 9 years since they were not part of a FIRST team (FLL & FTC). I expect they will have some adjusting to do as will I.

It has been my privilege to work with these and other team members. I wish to thank all the current and former team members, parents, sponsors, Indiana FIRST, Indiana FTC, Indiana FLL, Scott Chase, and GEARS for all their hard work, support.
