Wow... thanks for the thanks. I was glad to help. Thank you for turning to AndyMark for assistance.

On another note, I especially want to give a very large congratulations to MARK KOORS for winning the Volunteer of the Year award.

Mark is my partner in our AndyMark venture, and I simply could not have been prouder someone for a well-deserved award.

I also want to congratulate the Delphi Corporation for allowing Mark to take time away from his day job so he can be at FIRST for many weeks this past fall. (Both Mark and I still work at Delphi.) FIRST accepted Mark as a contributing engineer, as he helped with many aspects within the engineering department.

Mark, you are an inspiration to us all.

Sincerely,
Andy Baker

Congratulations to MOE! Spectacular stuff. Every year the team's just keep raising that Chairman bar higher and higher. I guess we had better get started on solving world hunger if we are every going to be worthy!

Congratulations to 190-177-987! You made all of Newton proud.

Team 2068 would like to thank 68 for picking us to join their alliance and 111 for being an excellent teammate (an aside - I loved your chairman's video it was great!). You are both great inspirations to us and we enjoyed playing some great matches. If we only could have ramped a bot in each of our semifinal matches... who knows where we would have ended up!

Thanks also to 1124 and 292 for the fun matches. I thought we played very well together.

Thanks to 2108 for lending us some of your tools. It was great competing with you at VCU and hope to see you again next year.

Thanks to 1511 for hosting the Rookie Meet and Greet. It was nice meeting you Larry.

Thanks to the legions of volunteers that made the championships possible!

Congrats to Team 357, Royal Assault, on winning the KCPB Entrepreneurship Award. This award is often overlooked, but I (and many others) consider it very similar to the EI and Chairman's awards. As Rich said the whole Philly area is very proud of you.

357 is actually the 3rd Philly area team to win the Entrepreneurship award at Championships in the last 5 years. Look at the list:
2007) 357
2006) 234
2005) 365
2004) 301
2003) 341
I've posted on the achievements and similarities (2000 rookie year, only teams to win Philly RCA) of our 3 teams (341, 357 & 365) before, and this is another major one. Also there is that odd coincidence that Teams 357 & 365 flew AirTran flight 341 into Atlanta this year. :eek:

I love your mecanum wheelchair. The way it maneuvered through the crowded pits is a testament to its brilliance. Also thanks once again for loaning us a battery (so we could compete against you in our first match).

Re: 2007 Championship Congrats

Thanks to 1700 for drafting us!

Also, thanks to 118 for joining our alliance.

Congratulations to the winners, 190, 177, and 987.

Also congratulations to the national runners-up, 233, 179, and 71. You guys all have outstanding teams, and hopefully I'll see some of you at the IRI.

Finally, congratulations to 178 for winning the Engineering Inspiration Award and 365 for winning the Chairman's Award. You guys have something to be proud of. :)
