I havent actually seen the video yet but if there is that in it...i have a feeling it may end up on the internet ;)

We actually had another set of signs that had each individual letter in FURY and the number 30. But the FU RY ones are the most popular and due to mass laziness on the part of our team members in the stands they were used most often. We used to have signs that said Team XXX(30 in Roman numerals). I have no idea what happened to them but I'm sure if we found them they'd be popular too. You gotta love all the fun you can have with our team name and number.

team 263 had the 'official' video board set up in the stands, i don't know if you saw it, but we had the camera set up fpr Soap 108, and rage came by to plug in thier vcr

Can you private message me if you do?? That would be really cool if I could get a copy of it on the computer. Im betting that there would be quite a few pictures of us on the internet pretty soon.

i saw them do it in the pits...it worked but very slowly...

My understanding is that they were running the pivot at 1/4 of its designed operating speed, so that would slow down the process significantly.

It was a pleasure competing with you guys. Couple of our member including me (287 operator) will be at I-con and I see you are going to be guests there so I hope to see you there.

thats correct, were running two robotics demo's and a breif informational session on what is FIRST. anyone on a team should come down during the demo, should be fun. we're bringing our 2002 bot, and maybe our 2001 bot since the new one is on its way to nats

I don't remember the exact number, but at full speed, we had that nasty tendency of stripping gears and having to overnight replacement ones.

I want to add my congratulations to all the teams at the LI Regional. Special thanks go to 173 Rage & 467 Duct Tape Bandits our alliance partners for well fought matches.

505 Saunders made a great play against us (358) on Friday by coming under the bar and ramming us during autonomous mode. They were faster than we were and that made them quick enough to accomplish that move. We did avoid it neatly the next time they tried it.

My favorite part was when 373 Locust Valley built and protected that stack of 6 bins during the seeding matches. I'm glad you got your autonomous mode working too. That's a lot to do while the matches are going on and you had to deal with those pins coming out of the motors at the same time.

Congrats to 564 Longwood for winning the Chairman's award. You are a great team and stood out for all the spirit you demonstrated all the way through the Finals.

Ian you should be proud of the award you recieved. Of which the name I shall not mention due to the fact you could very easily kill me.

And to Mark McLeod, you were a great alliance partner as well it is a shame we could not have gone as far as possible. Oh well there is always nationals to have another title shot.

I just wanna thank the alliance partners of 871. Without you guys, we'd have ended up in 27th place. Everybody at the competition did a great job. Congrats to 870 and the winners of the LI regional.

yeaa, LI regional was intense. Teh qualifyin matches were ok but the finals were intense as all hell. And what a day saturday. We went from finishin 27th afte rthe seeding matches to 2nd and teh regional finalists. thanx to our alliance partners teams 545 the robodawgs and team 566. We dominated, knockin out teh #1 seeded alliance of 358, 173(RAGE) and 467. And argueably the best two robots there, 173 and 358. Def an amazing day and one that will nto be forgotten. See u guys in the nationals.
