we are very grateful to have won 3 awards. In fact, we never won those before in 7 previous seasons for us.
We changed some things this year, especially during interviews which we felt helped tremendously. We were actually told of winning the awards prior to the awards ceremony both days.

NASA/VCU Regional got mentioned on the MAKE Magazine blog yesterday. Some great pictures in the linked Flickr set, too.

Folks - FYI - For those of you who liked the 6-player Overdrive Simulation we (Lockheed Martin) put together for the NASA/VCU Tech Row exhibits (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/30906), there are some other FRC game simulations brewing out there. A friend sent me a link to this pertinent CD thread:

it was a tough choice for our pick this year. my little "list" was cleaned out by the time we had our 2nd pick, so me and the rep from 1731 had to make our best choice with info we had.

yea, we always try our best on the pit area, and i could only imagine. you guys had the very last pick. there were many teams you could have selected, but you guys did great, and I hope to see you fellas next year.

Those darn penalties though, but Team 1262 has never made it as far as we did this year, and being it was my first competition, I really enjoyed it. Good luck to those teams in nationals and hope to see everyone next year. =]

Team 1137 would like to thank you guys! You guys were an amazing team robot wise and personal wise! It was a blast having you on our alliance and we will never forget you guys :) But next time don't give the hat to Tom (our driver) hehe! That was the farthest in competition that we have gone as well. Good luck to all!
