They volunteer their time and efforts because they believe in you, so
please stand up and show your appreciation. (lead applause)

And now as the competition winds down, take a minute to reflect on

more than robots. It’s about teamwork, developing relationships,
learning new skills, preparing for college or the trades, accepting
responsibility, having fun and building character.

It’s not easy to do what you just did: design, build and compete with a
sophisticated machine in a competitive atmosphere. But no matter
how you and your team fared at this event, I can guarantee you that
by participating in FIRST, your future is brighter. You are amazing!
