Hey Graham, no complaining. Some of us were up at 5 after a football/marching band game :p

Re: FINAL CALL: PASCACK PANDA-MONIUM 2008
 

And some of us had to get up at 5:20 after not getting up that early since... well... I can't remember when :p lol

Re: FINAL CALL: PASCACK PANDA-MONIUM 2008
 

Wellll, I was woken up by a cat at 4:30 in the morning after getting to bed at 12:30.

But it was a ton of fun. Thanks to all the teams and to all the volunteers, referees, etc.

Congratulations to the finalists, 271,1302,369. Major congrats to the champions 25 (thanks for letting me coach!), 11, and prerookies 2791. You guys were all awesome.

Thanks to Killian and the Pi-oneers for letting me be announcer! It was my second time announcing an event and I had a blast!

Re: FINAL CALL: PASCACK PANDA-MONIUM 2008
 

Watch out for that soon-to-be rookie team, their mentor has already led one rookie team to a regional championship!

Based on those results, I take it Mr. Heller had fun this weekend? :)

So I heard all the good news last night and wanted to convey the messages that the team members who attended had to say since nobody comes on CD. :P

By far this was one of our (ppl who attended) favorite off seasons to date. The people were friendly and the competition was great. We are definitely making this one of our annual off season competitions! Thank you so much to team 25 for choosing us as alliance partners and to the pre-rookies of 2791 as well. Also congratulations to our sister team 1302 for being finalists along with 271 and 369. The Pi-oneers really know how to put on a competition!

See you all at Brunswick Eruption 7!:D

EDIT: anyone have pictures or videos of the #1 alliance that they could email me? Please PM me if you do. Thanks.

It was an awesome competition, and I'm very surprised with the results. Thanks to 25 for picking us for the alliance, and thanks to 11 as well. Hopefully we'll be there next year (hopefully they'll change the date) with our own bot. Borrowing one just isn't the same. (Especially when you're given minutes to learn how to drive it) And Forbes, he had a blast. Here's some proof:

And for anyone who noticed we only had 3 people there, the rest of our team is Juniors and brand new freshman.. I think we still did well for having one mechanic and two programmers.. Most of it was luck, though. Next time we'll bring a driver.

On Behalf of the Pascack Pi-oneers I would like to extend our thanks to all the teams who competed, the mentors who competed in the Pie eating contest, and especially to Big Mike and his crew of refs. Also would like to thank "Pauly Robots," John Park, and Sara (Last name escapes me, sorry) for being amazing FTAs/Scheduling people, and also to all the other volunteers for doing everything that you guys do, because without you this event would not have been possible!

We had a blast, hope everyone else did!

Any time Rob :)

Re: FINAL CALL: PASCACK PANDA-MONIUM 2008
 

Mike!! I'm so proud...you woke up on time for this one =]

Re: FINAL CALL: PASCACK PANDA-MONIUM 2008
 

Such a wise guy... I was only a half hour away cause I was working 10P to 6A in the Bronx so I wasn't going to miss it for the world :)... It's going to be the same way for BE7 :D....

It only happens once that I stay asleep through an event :D

Re: FINAL CALL: PASCACK PANDA-MONIUM 2008
 

Sleep at an event?! Preposterous!!! Next time... take my job :p aint no time for sleeping... let alone sitting lol. But it's all good... its exciting :D haha

Re: FINAL CALL: PASCACK PANDA-MONIUM 2008
 

I did at Monty and trust me I wasn't good at it, thats why I went back to Field Reset and Queuing so quickly :o .

I'll stick to Queuing till I get more practice w/ Wayne :p

Re: FINAL CALL: PASCACK PANDA-MONIUM 2008
 

The wizards were -by a large margin - the team with the best image. You couldn't miss those purple robes everywhere...
Those pre-rookies from Latham were pretty amazing, eh? Watch out for them!

Also, excellent announcing. When's your chance at a regional?

I can't believe we survived. It all worked though. Also a huge thanks to the others who helped - Big Mike, the NASA guys, and a dozen others whose faces I know but not their names...

Poll question: If you went to Pandamonium, do you think Team 1676 should host it again next year (hopefully with more teams)?
