The finals today were AWESOME.

First I'll say congrats to 1073, 1058, and 1519. You guys made that final round really exciting, and I think we both had just as much fun. Great job.

I also want to say thanks to our alliance, 78 and 134. 78, your help was priceless. Thanks for everything. 134, you guys were a great alliance member too.

Goodluck in future regionals everyone! (and in Atlanta!)

I can't believe we are all still up!!! We had such a good time, we can't calm down enough to sleep. Hopefully this will give us a chance to sleep on the plane!!!!

Thanks to everyone who helped us throughout the day, we could not have done it without you. Special thanks to team 2342 (Team Phoenix) our sister team, and team 126 (Gael Force) our "step-sister" team.

We can't wait to see you all again in Atlanta this year.

Don't forget....

AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE, OI! OI OI!!!

Also, do not forget Safety FIRST!!!

Thank you all at GSR for a great first FRC experience for the first Australian FRC team. Everyone had a blast and we were very warmly welcomed by you all.

Thanks for stopping by and saying G'day, though nobody ever asked to borrow the vegemite to grease their gearboxes. Hmmm...

Hope to see you all somewhere next year!! And definitely keep in touch! And enjoy your koala's. :)

Team 241 would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the teams that participated at the BAE Granite State Regional.

We want to especially thank team 562 for asking 241 to play with them in the quarter-finals- We made a great alliance with 562 and 319. The future champion alliance of 1073, 1519, and 1058 was just too good to be denied.

Tremendous amounts of gracious professionalism were exhibited throughout the competitions and the awards ceremonies. I personally saw two matches where a robot from an opposing alliance intentionally and successfully righted a robot they were competing with.

A writer could not have scripted a better set of elimination and championship matches.

Every single award went to a obviously well deserving team. And it was great to have three countries represented and listen to three national anthems sung so well- It gave it almost an Olympics type feel to the regional competition.

The stands were rocking up through the final closing remarks and the hosting and music was top-notch.

We can't wait 'til the Connecticut Regional in Hartford only three weeks away.

Finally able to post after catching up from a busy busy weekend!

Just wanted to express my thanks towards Teams 1922 and 134 for being awesome partners throughout the elimination rounds. While although I was in the stands watching the matches, I know through my students and coaches that working with both teams was fun and exciting! It was also fantastic to rekindle our partnership with Team 134 from a few years ago.

Congrats to Teams 1073, 1519, and 1058! You guys were just plain tough to play! Great defense by 1519 and offense by 1073 really put that first and last match away. But we didn't want to make it TOO easy for you. ;)

Also a big congrats to Team 131 for their EI award! Couldn't go to a more deserving team. :)

See you all in Atlanta!

I would just like to say congrats to Team 131 for winning the Engineering Inspiration. Also, congrats to the winning alliance 1073, 1058, and 1519. It was nice to see everyones robots and different ideas about how to approach the game. Waldo had a great time, and enjoyed ourselves greatly! :)

I had a great time at BAE this weekend!

As primary base driver for AIR Strike, the finals matches were extremely fun, there was some serious driving talent on the field. To the 1519 drivers, you guys played awesome defense and 1073 you guys can sure score.

To 1922 and 134, it was great working with you guys. The amount of teamwork and cooperation we demonstrated throughout the entire finals series was comparable to an Einstein alliance. I wish we had some footage from the event, there is something that needs to be said for the picks 134 was setting for us :)

Overall, I think this regional was a total success. Even with the new seeding system it seemed that the top eight was accurate, and I couldn't be more happy with the alliance selection results.

Thank you for the congratulations for winning Chairman's. Team 1547 had a lot of fun at the Manchester Regional. Thank you to all the teams, new friends, judges and volunteers who made this regional so memorable.

Congratulations to all the winning teams and we look forward to seeing you all again sometime in the future. Good luck in future competitions to everyone! It was a blast!

This was my 1st year as a mentor and my first FIRST regional competition, and I found the experience on the whole to be quite excellent and I may be hooked on this whole FIRST thing.

Thanks to all the teams who attended Manchester Regional and making my FIRST experience something that I will remember and cherish.
