Re: 2015 New York Tech Valley Regional
 
We on 2791 had a great time at Tech Valley this year. This event has grown into one of the most well-run regionals I've ever been to, and that's thanks in no small part to the outstanding volunteers this regional attracts. Thank you all for putting this regional together!

I'd like to thank our alliance partners, 870 and 1111, for joining our alliance and putting up the best fight they could in the quarterfinals. We were thrilled that both of your teams were available as the 8th and 9th pick of the draft, having played good qualifying matches with both teams. I can't quite express how disappointed we were to find ourselves immobile in the first match. I personally feel so bad having picked two great teams and not having been able to play to our full potential. On so many alliances your teams would have advanced, so I'm really sorry about that. Thanks for playing your hearts out and being great, cooperative partners.

As always, it's nice to play with old friends, including (but not limited to) 229, 20, 3044, 1493, and 4930, along with some of our pre-district competitors 1923 and 195. Thanks for making it out to Tech Valley. I'd like to thank 20 as well for organizing collaborative scouting again this year - we're spoiled by our continued access to high quality data year after year.

Finally, I'd like to congratulate the winners of Volunteer of the Year award, Brent Brimhall and Nancy Casler. If you're doing something robotics related anywhere in Tech Valley, odds are you've seen Brent with a camera documenting all the magic as it's happening, and the PSA he created for our event was wonderful. Nancy Casler has done so much, not just for the regional but for 2791 as well, that I'm incredibly happy to see her efforts recognized and rewarded. Without her organizational skills and leadership, 2791 today simply would not exist. She's selflessly and tirelessly devoted a huge chunk of her time to both Shaker Robotics and the Tech Valley Regional for the past several years, and I can't thank her enough for the impact she's made.

It was cute watching Angry Eric each morning. The Star Spangled Banner is always "interesting" at Cornell-Clarkson games. :D

I'll agree with the others, we had a great time at Tech Valley. Thanks to all that made it possible!

A big thanks from 145 to teams 1493 and 3003 for adding us to their alliance. Our scores in the quarters would have moved us on in many other regionals. Proving that the Northeast is one of the most competitive places to play in all of FRC. Congrats to all the winners of all the awards! We were happy to garner a paper plate award for our pit and costumes!! Hope to see you in the Fall at the Robot Rumble.

I was surprised you didn't win Imagery. The Toy Story concept was inspired!

If there was ever an Imagery Award to be given.... I don't see how it didn't go to 145. Holy Cow.

Take nothing away from 4508 though.
