Thanks to 222 & 25 for the ride. :)

Thanks to all who made DOTD a great day--as usual! Not only did our rookies get hooked, but so did their parents.

Thanks also for the trophy and the check. We were surprised, to say the least. We appreciate your generosity. The trophy will be on display in an honored place.

See y'all at Ramp Riot.

O ya forgot a few comments.

Music/DJ-was great-all songs were good got everyone,well at least my team, into good moods. I for one, kept singing along.

Queing-was at perfect times, never to early, never too late. Everyone was where they shouldve been.

The only problem i saw, which was incredibly small, was that in the corner of the one side of pits, 87 and 84 seemed to be slightly cramped, not much, but just a little. All in all it did not matter much, but ya know, nothing can be perfect.

Once again, it was an amazing competition, not once was there a big problem, and you can count on 25 being there for years to come.

Gracious professionalism at the Duel
 

I would like to give props to one team that displayed a good example of gracious professionalism at the Duel on Sat. In one match, the scorekeepers accidentally typed in a "1" instead of "10" for the number of balls in the goal - big difference! The mistake reversed the results and gave the wrong alliance the win. The losing alliance, who should have been the winners, appropriately and politely pointed out the error. A member of the winning alliance, 357 (please correct me if I got the team wrong) said "Yes, they're correct, they should have won and we should have lost". They didn't have to confirm the error but it was a good example of the gracious professionalism that we should all aspire for.

YESSSS!!! The Duel and the Riot are the main reasons I fell in love with Robotics. Great memories from last year guys. But yeah... our team needs to know (sorry I'm retarded but I can't find a list anywhere) exactly what books are not allowed. I've heard you can't bring encyclopedias, but what else?

Re: Duel on the Delaware (Official Thread) - Any predictions?
