The judges wrote: "This team demonstrates TRUE QUALITY through its unwavering attention to detail in everything it does. Clad in purple with every gear in sync, this team reflects strength, reliability, and a commitment to doing the essential exceptionally well. Though the team is new, their foundation is Strong!
