The exciting news is that this project had a tremendous impact on the ESports Club. The students felt more pride in the club because of having working, up to date equipment, and they treated it with pride and care. The purple color of the controllers isn't something I really cared one way or another about, but the students always wanted them over the generic white ones! The cords kept them charged always, and the hard cases kept them nice and neatly stored, and increased the perceived level of care for the items by the students involved in the club.\r\n\r\nAs a side note, we did take 1st place in the supplemental Bracket in the fall, we took 3rd place in the Central Division Championship bracket last spring, so they were of tremendous help!\r\n\r\nThank you again for all your help in this endeavor.
