This was my first time attending a regional out of California. I had a great time volunteering. I would like to thank all the teams, volunteers from Autodesk, volunteers from Americorps and all the FIRST officials. Without the volunteers the regional wouldn't have been possible. The teams did a great job, there was a lot of energy and a great competition over all. I urge many out of state teams to take a look at Portland. Its a beautiful city and a great place to compete and i cant wait to come back next year. Team 481 did a great job with the thank you letters, congrats to them on the Engineering Inspiration award. Congrats to all the rookie teams who put up a great competition. We did have a few technical issues wit ht the field, but everyone was gracious and we had a good dance. I will be going to SVR and perhaps Atlanta. Good luck to everyone and thanks again.
What did you guys think?I would appreciate some feedback.

And I would like to thank you and all the rest of the volunteers there for volunteering. You guys did a great job making some tough scoring decisions, and managing to work through all the technical difficulties. PNW is our only regional, and at this point I am glad we went.

I would like to thank all the teams who worked with and delt with the small issues that we always have each year, I had a blast volunteering at the event and will once again do it next year. It makes it so much easier when everybody works together as well as they did :)

THANKS TEAMS!
