Re: 2008 Las Vegas Regional
 
Squirrel and I had the chance to spectate at Las Vegas on Friday, and it was great! It was a very exciting regional with lots of great robots, and the number of shooting bots was overwhelming. I think there were only 3 alliances in the eliminations that didn't have a shooter flinging balls over the overpass.

Congrats to 987 for the undefeated win and the chairmans! Also, major congrats to 39 for your amazingness. You have the most efficient and simple machine this year by far! The match where you hurdled the flat trackball for the whole match was the most awesome thing I've ever seen. You'll do a good job representing AZ in Atlanta.

Also, thanks to 842 for your hospitality! It was fun hanging out with you guys and cheering on your bot. I'm glad you guys finally got it firing consistently enough to become the captain of the 3rd alliance and carry it on to the finals. Fantastic work!

I have contacted Team 2520's mentors and am waiting to hear what they will try to do...Team 987 will try to help them with their efforts should they decide to go to Atlanta...we are proud to have provided some mentorship this rookie season, Gilberto. Keep up the good work and thanks for thinking of others (that's what FIRST is all about, right?).

Thanks to 842 for selectings us and to 4 for lending us fresh batteries for the elims.

I'm really proud of the students on 973 as they really stepped up and worked as a team better. They were so excited to even get the chance to compete against such high calliber teams in the finals.
It was a blast! We hope to see you again soon and maybe we can win that elusive regional title! Take care!

Thank you to 842 and 1724 for being such good alliance partners.

Congratulations to 987, 39, and 1013 for your win! You guys were great to play against!

Also thanks to team 4 for their batteries, and 1070 for their lovely tiaras during the finals.

I hope that 973 will be able to come again next year!
Your welcome! See you next year!

Congratulations to 987, 39, and 1013! You guys were tough! We knew going in we did not ave a chance playing you the way we did every one else. Defense was our only option.
39 you are great! We learned a lot from you! Hope we get the chance to play with you instead of against you in Atlanta! Take care!
Any chance of talking you into the water?
NURC is in June, you still have time.

Yeah, that would have been amazing, I could only imagine how awesome that would be... </sarcasm>, But seriously though, they did deserve to win. BTW, who else went to the show on thursday night?

Also, i think team 987 had their entire school there on Friday...

Not sure what will be available.

But I do know that we had a parent who recorded most of the matches. The practice matches are in SD and the qualifying and finals are in HD. I'll see what he wants to do with them.

Also since he is a part of our team he naturally focused on us more during our matches, but they are still pretty good videos if you want me to pursue getting them released. ;)

Once again, congrats to 987, 39, and 1013! That was a very impressive alliance and made for a monumental challenge for us in the finals.
I had so much fun during this regional. The show we were invited to was incredible too! Now that it's all over I want to go back!
