I tip my hat to you Team Hammond. As a former member it was hard to not be with you to share the joy of the national championship, but you guys deserve it... Your hard work and dedication showed throughout this season and will continue to shine for many years to come.

That's 4 Thus Far.... care to make it 5?

Once again.... GREAT JOB! 71, 494, and 435

What an alliance.....another awesome machine from 71, and thanks 494 for the help @ peachtree...

[Kevin Kolodziej]

Huge congrats go out to EVERYONE for making this the best competition ever. The Archimedes eliminations were the best eliminations I have ever seen (JVN agrees :D ). Congrats to all of the division champions as well as the final four. Teams 71, 494, and 435 displayed awesome teamwork the entire afternoon. I'm glad to see that Hammond doesn't need me anymore :p

And a thank you goes out to 900 as well. Y'all are great.

This was the most fun I've ever had and everybody was excellent.

[Amanda Aldridge]

Wow! My reaction when I logged onto CD last night was one of absolute delight! Not only are 494 and 435 great teams, who absolutely deserve it, but as a former member of Team Hammond, I have to say Way to Go! You guys are awesome!!!

[Ryan Dognaux]

Congratulations to all three teams, you really played hard and put on a really good show :)

A special congrats to 435 - I remember last year how things went for you guys, and to see how things went for you this year and how you've progressed.. it just blows my mind. You guys are a great team - Regional Chairmans and a National title to go with it :] I can't wait to see what you do next year

[Alex Cormier]

Congrats!!! very nice alliance selection.

[Tyler Olds]

Congrats to 71, 494 and 435! You guys made a great alliance. I knew Beatty had a great bot, but I never would ahve imagined them winning it this year. Truely incrediable! This year's competition has really been a marvel to watch and participate in.

Yea last year was umm well I rather not talk about that. This year how we built are machine was we looked the game aspects and decided what we thought it would take to win. So we went out and built it and I have to say it worked really well. As for next year not sure what we are going to think up yet.... I hope to see you guys at nationals or a regional next year and best of luck to you as well.

congratulations team 71, 494 and 435, the championship final matches were awesome.

[Kit Gerhart]

I want to congratulate to the winners, and to Team Hammond for an unprecedented 4th. championship. There is another alliance, though, that deserves a lot of congratulations, and that is the 2nd. place alliance in Archimedes. Teams 716, 45, and 1272 took the division finals to three matches, all of which could have easily gone either way. I wish my team, which went out in the quarter finals, had done better, but our loss allowed me to watch the Archi finals and see what were some of the most hotly contested matches of the championship.

[Andy Brockway]

Congratulations team 71, 494 and 435, our Finals on Archimedes were tough. Congratulations on the Championship!

Thanks Kit for your congrats! This was our second time to the divisional finals. The first was as a partner with 271 in 2002. One of the divisional champs and overall champs was 71. They may want us to always play them in the divisional finals :D

[JVN]

The Archimedes eliminations were the best eliminations I have ever seen (JVN agrees :D ).
Ohh yeah!
After we didn't get drafted, I wandered over and sat in the Archie stands. We saw the incredible alliances and knew the finals would be AWESOME in this division. I certainly wasn't disappointed.

Congratulations to 71, 494, and 435.
Archimedes definitely made you earn your pass to the final four!

The entire alliance had incredible play, especially the great defense by 494.



Q: "What do you call it when a team wins 4 national championships in 9 years?"
A: "FREAKIN INCREDIBLE!"

Kudos to Team Hammond from 229.
