To the editor:

ROV team Atlantis Inc. would like to thank the Record for the wonderful articles about our journey to and subsequent fourth-place finish at the MATE ROV Pacific Northwest Regional Competition (underwater robotics).

We would like to thank our many generous donors for such tremendous support. We are so grateful for your sponsorship, your help and advice, and most of all your very enthusiastic encouragement and support of our efforts: our “official” sponsor Grey Chicken DesignWorks, Casey’s Crafts, Pat at Lind’s Jewelers, Whidbey Dive Center, Nichols Brothers Boat Builders, Island Athletic Center, Blue Fox Prints, Columbia Virtual Academy, and Les Schwab Tires.

Congratulations to Jay Hudemann who won the raffle of the beautiful, white gold Whidbey Island pendant donated by Pat at Lind’s Jewelers.

For anyone interested in seeing the underwater craft and pictures of the competition and build sessions, Atlantis Inc. is pleased to announce that their ROV, “Polla Loca,” will be on display at the Langley Library for the next two-and-a-half weeks for public viewing.

We can’t wait to compete again next year!
