Chief Delphi - Brunswick Eruption 13: 2014

It's a week later, but I wanted to check in and once again thank all of the volunteers that helped to make Brunswick Eruption 13 such a success.

The planning committee hopes the 40 teams in attendance all had a great time and enjoyed many of the changes we made this year. We wish to see everyone back at either next year's BE or the 2015 North Brunswick MAR district!

Here are the official results from the event:

Winners: 222, 2590, 1075, 375
Finalists: 293, 4361, 102, 3142
Future Glory Award: Team 5599, The Sentinels from Bayside, NY
Food Drive Champion: 806 w/ 704 items
Shoe Drive Champion: 806 w/ 247.55 lbs of shoes!
Evil Sundae Survivor: 1st place – Team 369, 2nd place – Team 4575

Hoku Award, sponsored by Timothy Maguire: 694

Quote:

In their pursuit of the Hoku Award, one team made particularly strong ambassadors. Not only did they travel to China to assist with the China Robotics Challenge, but they even arranged to sponsor 4 Chinese teams on a return trip to New York City. These Stuyentific Americans impressed the judges with their plans for sustainability and outreach. The Hoku Award, sponsored by Timothy Maguire, goes to Team 694, Stuypulse.

Mahalo Award: 2601

Quote:

One team with us here today has risen above their Graciously Professional colleagues to earn a hearty "Mahalo" from the judges on behalf of our competitors. This team provided not only robot parts, but actually an entire robot to a pre-rookie team they have taken under their steel wings. Join me in saying Mahalo and thank you to FRC Team 2601, the Steel Hawks.

Kumu (Mentor/Teacher) Award: Allan Bailey (Team 375)

Quote:

This mentor had many rivers to cross,
And many miles to drive
To bring his team wisdom and supplies.
What other mentor would choose to move next to McMaster?
In honor of his dedication and commitment, the Kumu mentor award goes to Allan Bailey of Team 375, The Robotic Plauge.

Big Kahuna: Venkat Shan

Thanks! There were actually a few small anomalies in the recorded match data. I fixed these this past Monday, so now the rankings and match results posted online at the links below match the official FMS ones.
