Hat's off to everyone involved in bringing Mayhem again to South FL, including sponsor Devry University. Stranahan High School shielded robots from rain for the 2nd year. This event isn't real without some weather, freak equipment failure, competitive play and unique moments. Having a team present from Puerto Rico was amazing & having Woodie Flowers drop by with several years of WFA honorees was jaw dropping! Additional favorite moments include Team 168 leading the Wave, 233's Rocobot freeing itself from overpass entanglement and watching lots of new drive teams control their machines. The carpet didn't stand a chance! Kudos to all. |
Re: Mission Mayhem 2008
Yes, once again Mayhem was mayhem. Rain and field problems. Go figure.
I was impressed to see Woody Flowers and the group of WFA winners show up. I didn't get a chance to talk to any of them, but thanks for coming. Thanks to Exploding Bacon for giving us a spare Banebot motor to replace the one that got RIPPED off of our robot. I am still amazed that we could shear a gearbox output shaft. Kudos to Arefin and the Mayhem organizational committee for pulling off another fine event. Keep it up and maybe you will be able to pull together a South Florida FRC regional one year. |
Re: Mission Mayhem 2008
This was the best Mission Mayhem ever. This event is ran based on teams and volunteers. Just like every single year teams have proven to me that Mayhem is not just my baby, it's theirs' as well.
- Thank you to Dr. Murphy, Dr. flowers and all the WFA winners for showing up on Saturday afternoon and taking this event to a top notch level. (Thank you Andy, Mr. Ellich, and Dave for organizing this). - I would like to thank team 744 and 168 for showing up Friday and working with us all day long to get the field together and organizing the pits - A special thanks goes out to the Puerto Rican team who came out to Mission Mayhem. Not only they put up a good fight on the field, they also showed up Friday and helped us put the field together. - Thank you to Juan Formoso whom without I wouldn't have been able to put the event together. - Thank you to Mr. Ellich and team 1251 for the beautiful trophies and for the help during setup day. You guys have proved me right when I said, "Mayhem is known for building hand made trophies." - Thank you to John Burke who has been by my side this whole time and advised me on how things should be done. - Thank you to all the volunteers who came down from different cities and put the show together. - Thank you to my best friend Neil Pincus (he also brought team 233's robot down), Marcus Hill, and Kenny partenan for being by my side throughout those two days and told me not to quit. - Thank you to Jane Young for the huge surprise and keeping me sane throughout the event. - Dan Richardson for coming down and DJ for us again. I don't think Mayhem would be the same without you. - George Wallace for being a great game announcer and working hard throughout the whole day. - John Catt, Matt Keller, and Ken from 79 for getting the webcast, scoring and video stuff together. - Thank you Brian Camp and Kenny Partenan for taking the role of Head Referees at the last second. Thanks to Dave Guzman, Bryan Phagan, Marcus Hill, Tim Arnold, Tom Fillipek for being referees for the event and running the game so smoothly. Mayhem wouldn't have happened without everybody who were in attendance and I thank you all. I hope to see you all at Tempest N' Tampa for another great event. Now for updates: 1) Awards will be posted on the website by the end of the week. 2) I will talk to Matt Keller and see if I can get all the videos up on SOAP and will talk to Greg Merra and see if we can get those videos up on Blue Alliance as well. 3) Mission Mayhem 2009 dates and venue will be available before Kickoff. I just need a few months break so I can recover. =) |
