Could anyone help me out with figuring out the team numbers for the two Dean's List winners?

Re: 2010 San Diego Regional
 

I know one of them was from 1717... I cannot remember who the second one was from?

Thanks to everyone for a great regional, it was a blast to be a part of (and ruining my voice two days straight!)

For the Dean's List, if I remember correctly the winners were from 1717 D'Penguineers and 2543 (?) TitanBOT.

Team 359 would like to thank everyone who participated in the competition and the many friends we saw and new friends made.
We've been to many finals over the years and finally got over the hump with the great partners of 100 and 294. I waited 8 years since our last regional win.
We felt that picking 294 was a steal considering how late they went.

Thanks to 668, 1388, 1538, and 1717 for a fun weekend during week 1.

**sorry for the delayed post. We just got back from the AZ regional this afternoon.** I need to sleep for a couple of days.:D

Thanks Team 359 for bringing the Aloha spirit to San Diego - always great to see the team!

Regarding the business plan, it is - and always has been - the responsibility of the team to highlight their business plan and provide it to the judges if they are interested in competing for the Entrepreneurship award. When the judges interview the teams they are looking at the various attributes for 15 different awards; they don't just come interview for Entrepreneurship only. And the judges did interview your team multiple times on both Friday and Saturday, but apparently no from the team brought up the business plan until Saturday.

So to be effectively considered for that award, the team should proactively address the biz plan with the judges and make sure they have a copy. That's part of being an entrepreneur as well - making sure your message gets out!

Jeff,
Thanks for the word of advice.
Actually, the issue came about when our Business Plan student team asked the judges about presenting it, and being repeatedly told they were here for the robot and someone else was going to come around.
Another issue was that when the stadium and pits opened at 8:00am, it took so long for everyone to get in, since the stadium personnel were checking bags for outside food and drinks. By the time our team got to the pit, 2 judges already left at 8:10am. I saw them leave since I got in quite early.

Redemption came when we won it the following week in AZ.;)
