Thanks to "TheOtherGuy" for posting the link to his pictures. They're great!

Hopefully, we'll see some more links to photos from the event. Some of the teams didn't have photographers on hand and would like some action shots for recruiting purposes.

Regretfully, there was an oversight at the end of the event. A Team 2404 student (Natalie) hand-crafted some special awards. The "High Five Award", a clay likeness of a human hand, was given to Team 599 to accompany their "Team Spirit' award. The other award, in the form of a human figurine, I believe was presented to Team 1726, the Judges' Award winner. I do regret that Natalie wasn't on-hand to personally offer her creations to the deserving winners.

I'm glad you like the pictures, I just finished uploading the ones that turned out the best.

Also, the three finals matches are up on our team's youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/frc1726
I'm sure more video will be put up a little later, too.

Slight problem: we have accidently come into possession of one of the champion plaques; we've already contacted 330, and they've assured us it's not theirs. Is 968, 980, or 1160 missing a plaque? Please contact us so we can fix this! :ahh:

One of my favorite parts was the enthusiasm of the football team which was there. The must have been about 7th grade. I ran into two of them in the morning, looking for the football field and their game. I didn't know where their game was, but I told them about the robots. Some time in the afternoon the whole football team showed up and stayed to watch until the end. At one point just before a match they ran up to the driver's station to "get in line" to drive the robots, and just before the finals they asked if they could go out and put the balls up. I (obviously) had to keep them away from the field, but I directed them to the VEX field just outside (thanks to 599) where they were able to drive some robots. Between just about every match, the whole team would run down the stands and around the corner to the VEX field, and then come back to watch the matches. They were quite enthusiastic and asked lots of questions.
