thanks teams 460 and 606!! great job!! |
THANK YOU ARIZONA for an outstanding competition!!! All day Friday I kept telling people how well organized things were, how smooth things were going (but then again, I was rather oblivious to most of the event!), but mostly how incredibly nice everyone was in Phoenix! Even when things didn't happen the way we would have liked them to, it was still the BEST COMPETITION I have been to! Everyone who helped is to be congratulated.
I want to especially thank the machine shop crew! They went way above and beyond by putting up us being their own personal pests, while never seeming to tire or complain, and doing this while turning out massive amounts of quality work. You guys are incredible!!! Thanks George and all the rest (whose names I can't remember). Also, I have to thank teams 606 and 460 for their heroic efforts to make us all look good. Honestly, ...we could not have picked better partners (or people who could eat more ice cream) than you! We are truly honored that you accepted our invite. We owe it all to you. Best of luck at the next comp, and (maybe!) we'll see you in Texas...if we can find a whole lot of $$$ real fast! Our biggest thanks has to go out to Travis Covington and Kirk Oden - our engineers, mentors, inspiration, and encouragement. As I have told both of you many times, YOU are the reason that we have a moving robot at all! For those who don't know these guys, they are both college soph.s at Cal Poly Pomona, CA, who spend every spare minute (and more!) helping to teach and educate us. Their attitudes, ideas, and demand for perfection have challenged us and helped us to understand "gracious professionalism" as a way of life, not just an action. I could never tell you how much you mean to the team and myself! Thank you. Finally, to all the other teams that participated in the 1st Arizona Regional Competition, THANK YOU for the continuous gracious professionalism that you showed throughout the three days. No matter what the circumstances, students and adults acted graciously to all others. And as always, many teams went out of their way to help whenever anyone who asked for assistance. FIRST is an concept to most people out their. Continue to spread the word! Thanks Arizona, teams 606 and 460, Travis and Kirk, the other 34 teams, and team 968 for an unforgettable experience. |
getting flipped
yeah man that was a fluke... I can't believe we got flipped. We had an awesome time though. We must have broke like 6 robots while participating :D

Terrific job by the volunteers and teams in AZ!!
The many volunteers deserve special thanks for making the AZ regional a success. Wendy Wooten and some members of Chatsworth (Team 22) made the trek from LA just to help make things run smoothly. They deserve special thanks. Team 698 also provided a great deal of volunteer support to the event. It's unfortunate that their volunteers' efforts are overshadowed by some other action by their team. I do want their volunteers to know that their work was important and very much appreciated. There were many awesome teams and very exciting matches played in AZ. The variety of both robots and team strategies is a testament to the ingenuity of the students and mentors. I was amazed at the speed of the Team 60 robot. It got up the ramp as fast as our arm could swing around to hit the bins. We had them on the top of our alliance "pick list" - great robot from a great team! We learned a lot as a team in AZ. We hope to make a strong showing in both LA and Houston. If we are successful at those events, it would be due in part to the experience we gained in Phoenix. Thanks again to all who made the AZ regionals a big success!! |
