Shirt Trading @ BE
 

Hey folks. Since this is probably my last competiton I'll be going to until next year, I wanted to let everyone know who is attending BE that I have team shirts left to trade still.

I have various sizes left.

I take an XL so if you are interested, try to PM me here, or just bring me an XL at BE and I'll see what I can do to hook you up with a shirt that fits you!!

Thanks all, and see you @ BE.



Come to BE.

Refs Favorite Award - 237
Mike's (Wade's) Favorite Award - 555
Rising Star - prerookie 1882 Howell HS

Winners- 358, 75 and 369 (Alliance 2)

My thanks to all of the 31 teams who attended and especially those teams that had the faith to come with robots in need of parts or "battle weary" after the long FIRST year. We tried to accomodate as best we could and it seemed like everybody had at least some time on the field.

And also my thanks to my crew of dedicated adults and kids who worked diligently to put on the event. With the help of the teams from Pascack, Hightstown, the prerookies and our guests from NY and Connecticut the takedown flew .

As my team knows, I am one of those guys who worries all about the little details getting done. For weeks the kids have been telling me, don't worry- we got it covered. And they did. I'm still amazed. The kids worked very hard
running the event and still competed with decent success.

And we finished the last round at 5:15 (5:00 goal) to be out by the time of the school play.

And of course we all owe a huge round of thanks to Paul Kloberg for getting so much of the organizational work done for the event and to the amazing, dedicated and irreplaceable Mike Wade from NASA. Mike gives so much to the kids of our region and truly epitomizes the spirit of FIRST. Thanks a million.

I hope everybody had a great time and that you plan to come back next year. The kids are pushing for a 2 field event......and there is a whole other gym to consider........

Team 999 made it to the semi-finals (with 25 & 1403) before falling to teams 237, 56, and 11.
They did a really good job, but I'm sorry I have no photos of them in action.

P.S. It was so exciting I had trouble remembering to take photos of my own teams.

Brunswick Eruption 4 - It's over!!
 

Team 25 put on a terrific show for us all on Saturday. I understand what a huge undertaking an off-season event like this is, especially with the number of competing teams making it equivalent to a Regional-in-a-day. The announcer’s voice was going at the end.
From the freshmen field reset crew, to the organizers we thank you for your tremendous efforts on behalf of spreading the excitement that is engineering and technology.

Although our status as winners (we’re in Tiki heaven) makes our admiration of the referees possibly suspect. I want to thank them for their diligent efforts to govern what came down to a evenly offensive/defensive game there in the last few matches as competitive play stepped up a level as it always does in the Finals.

Congratulations to all the special award winners, especially, one of my favorites Baldwin Team 1546 ;)

Thanks to our partners 75 and 369 it was a true alliance with each supporting the others by taking up an extra load whenever called on. Together we barely prevailed over teams 237, 56, and 11, also a great alliance we were proud to play against and would have been equally honored to play with.

It was an exciting day for our freshmen as you gave them the opportunity to taste FIRST as drivers rotated through the qualifying matches breaking off or denting parts and pieces of our robot. It makes me shudder to think of them with driver permits in a few years! Towards the end we took turns with 75 playing defense while our arms were down for various (in our case an ultimate catastrophic failure) while 369 continued to cap relentlessly.

Special thanks to:
- Teams 222 and 271 for drill bits which we mean to replace.

- Team 1089 for their immense help in rebuilding our backup fork with their Porta-band saw and to Team 1882 for their assistance as well.

- I'm sure there are others I'm neglecting to mention, so thanks to all who helped others learn to operate their loaner robots or helped to put a broken 'bot back on the field.

Thanks all for giving us a final opportunity to Triple Play!

Re: Brunswick Eruption 4- its coming!!
 

Yeah, I have video footage of the finals, even though my team did not participate i still thought it would have been a good idea to get it.
I will happy to upload the clips but I will have to go through all the tapes first so give me some time.

Re: Brunswick Eruption 4- its coming!!
 

Team 369 would like to Thank 358 and 75 for picking us as your alliance. We would also like to thank team 25 for hosting such a great event. It was an honor competing with 237, 56 and 11 And all the teams that were there. We hope to see you guys in 2006. Good Luck In The Up Coming Events.
