Lonestar thanks!
 
First of all we would like to extend congratulations to the Lonestar finalists:
Winner teams 1477, 1420, and 57
Finalist teams 118, 501, 1898, and 2582 (sub)

You guys treated us to a fantastic finish. The 118 alliance suffered a lot of damage and we were worried there were going to be no robots left for the final match!

Thanks to all the volunteers and organizers of the Lonestar regional. Once again it was a great event.

We especially want to thank LASA robotics (team 418) for presenting us their team Innovation award. Our kids worked hard on their robot and were very proud of it and were very disappointed (well I was too) not to be chosen for an alliance. Your award really did mean a lot to us!

Although it is true that every single one of our alliance robots sustained considerable damage:rolleyes: leaving 2 of ours barely workable (118 and ours 2582) and one barely functional 501, I was thrilled with the result and was just happy we got to compete in the finals in our rookie year. And Congrats to the winning alliance

That was some of the most exciting finishing matches that I have ever seen at LSR. Thanks to 118, 501, and 2582 for a fantastic finish.

I have many thanks here...

Team 1108 Panthers and 2587 Discobots for being outstanding alliance partners.

The LASA programers who helped me out with our lift program.

There are too many others too mention.
Congratulations to the finals alliances. (Still getting names and number memorized.:cool:)

I will probably add more later.

I would like to thank Team 1108 for presenting at the Chairman's Award after-meeting. The Chairman's Award has been a "Dark Art" for many years - meaning you never see what a team did to win the award - and it is so eye-opening to see the winning entry and discuss their successful strategy and other successful strategies for winning the award. Pay no attention to the hecklers in the crowd, though, they do that to everybody. ;)

Robatos Locos:

I was impressed at how your team got its manipulator working better as the competition went on. That was a really creative design with a lot of potential.

Stay purple,

We actually prototyped our manipulator within 2 days of kickoff and found it worked very well for holding on to the ball. Final testing left us with some concerns because in certain configurations the cable would catch in our front wheels. Thus we added a cover which I thought made it look like a wilted flower, but the announcer called it an "umbrella like device". Problem was that it wouldn't slip over the ball well enough for us to grab hold. It still worked well enough to consistently remove all 4 balls from the rack almost every round. Finally, after I made the arm operator promise not to lower the grabber into the front of the robot, we removed it and restored full function.

Thanks to team 2468 from 1745 for selecting us as an alliance parter for the finals.

Also congratulations on you Rookie All Star award! Good luck in Atlanta! :)
