awards

[Mike Bulzomi]

what did your team get at regionals? i'm only asking now cause most of them are over. :)


team 360 got the Imagery award at the Pacific Northwest regional for, and i quote, our "innovative use of zipties." but i think it also had something to do with the kung fu fighting hamsters, the zipties in the hair (yes, as hairpieces), the zipties on the safety glasses (i had my ziptie duct taped to my forehead), our sprayed hair, enthusiasm, team spirit (and i quote, "they may not have won every match they were in but you always knew they were there"), and that kind of thing. we were one of the only two party teams too.. us and team 383 - the brasilians! :) those people can party til the day comes, and so can we.


anyways.. :)

Team #269 Cooney/Quest, won the Xerox Creativity award at the MMR, they liked that we could grab 2 goals, pick up balls, and had 2 drive systems. The announcer still needs help with our city lol, we are the cheeseheads from Oconomowoc!!

[Clark Gilbert]

At the Motorola Midwest Regional the TechnoKats recieved 2nd place finalists and the Regional Chairmans Award :D

[DaveO'B365]

We got the Imagery at VCU, and the Regional Chairmans at Drexel(Philadelphia)

At the Mid-Atlantic Regional, Team 293 won the Xerox Creativity Award, probably for our innovative use of fiberglass.

Team 357 won the Leadership in Control Award at the Lone Star Regional. The judge was impressed with our claw design and how it was automated by "smart code". He had built a similar claw at his engineering firm.

The Pacific NorthWest Regional was new this year. I transplanted from San Jose and was a little concerned it wouldn't be as fun. *Wrong!*

#383 - The Brazilian Machine was amazing

We as you have seen in these posts thier alliance won the regional. Teams 753 and 833 were called to recieve thier medals. We applauded, we cheered. Then 383 was called. We jumped to our feet and gave them a standing ovation. They had that much of an impact on the other teams. I honestly can say it couldn't have been better unless it was us with them. We had mixed feelings as a team. Our new friends the X-bot 488 and local team the Titans 492 were against them in the finals and yet I know we all felt the same way.

The award was deserved but more importantly I believe we all got to share in it.

Hats off and bow to The Brazilian Machine. Hope to see you next year.

Imagery...eventually we will figure out how we were chosen :-)

Team 86 won the Xerox Creativity Award for our sound system. We have the sound system wired to play different sounds through out the match, mostly Pac-man sounds because our robot picks up balls much the same way Pac-man chomps the little flashing dots. I'm sure you guys who will be at Nationals will heaar us, it's hard not to, the on stage crew asked that we turn the sound down... hehehe.

Hi,

during the course of the UTC regional in New Haven, CT team 151 won the Engineering Inspiration Award for our community impact.

our partner team 166, won the best play award for thier help in one of our matches, we were pulling a goal and one of the other teams hit us and we were flipped on our backs. our alliance partner team 166 drove over and flipped us right again, we made a extrodinary come-back unfortunatly we lost the match by 2 balls, It was an unfortunate loss but it certainly was exciting.

Some of the teams had their own awards,
We won the "spirit award" from team 509(i think!),
and also the "best play award" from team 69 hyper!

And we are just back from LA loaded down with a Delphi driving tommorow award, #1 seed, and our Regional Champs trophy. We also got a most unique robot award from our allies team #60.

[Mike Rush]

The Incomplete Download team should be honered to have Rob Mainieri as one of your sponsors. I worked with Rob when we founded Team 64 five years ago when he was the sponsor from Highland High. We now have many wonderful traditions including great team spirit due to him. I have no doubt your team will go far in the coming years!

Congrats to the entire team on the Rookie All Star Award... and remember to thank Mr. Mainieri the next time you see him.
