::Tytus loves his robot:: :)

Congratulation to team 25 for the General Motor Industrial Design Award.

... Corey, B-rat...you guys were very close for the gold, I believe in you guys and know that you will win the gold next year, you guys rock.

Team 1251 has proven themselves again by being finalist again 2nd time in a row this year. I saw this rookie team grow and come out as one of the best.

Everybody in Palmetto did a great job, I had fun watching the webcast, wish if I was there.

Yayyyyy. Judges Award! <3

Re: 2005 Palmetto Regional
 

Congratulations to 1466 , 179 , 1051 for winning the regional. Special thanks to our alliance partners 1251 and 301.

I personally did not agree with the call made by the referees in the final match, I have to admit, this is undoubtedly the BEST REFFING CREW I have encountered. The head ref Christopher Cook is one of the best refs in FIRST. Team 25 respects their decision in the finals because they are the best crew around. See you all in Atlanta.

I had been watching the Palmetto webcast, I saw purple hawaiian shirts and remembered team 25 who hosted the first competition I'd ever been to, the Brunswick Eruption. Isn't that a little far to travel to a regional? Anyway, I missed the awards ceremony today, anyone know who won the rookie allstar award down there?

Re: 2005 Palmetto Regional
 

On behalf of all the inspectors at the Palmetto Regional, I would like to congratulate all the teams that attended. Each inspection was conducted with the utmost level of gracious professionalism. Everyone involved with FIRST knows that 6 weeks is not enough time design, build and test a robot. But each year the teams are able to accomplish this seemingly impossible task. WAY TO GO TEAMS!

2005 Lead Inspector

PS. Team 179, what was that green slime dripping from your robot?

Re: 2005 Palmetto Regional
 

Congratulations to everyone who competed, especially the winners and the finalists. You all did great, and I do have to say the scoring and the reffing was wonderful. <3 See you at Nats!

Re: 2005 Palmetto Regional
 

I was the announcer for Palmetto and on the floor for every match. Christopher and the crew were awesome.

I have some pictures of the unusual tetra stacks that they had to deal with. There were situations that were totally unexpected and they judged each one with careful consideration. (how can I post a picture of the kattywompus tetra stacks?)
