Re: Dallas regional 2010
 

welll, for me personally this was one heck of a weekend. I want to start out by thanking everyone in Dallas, the entire regional was very pleasant and relaxed.

I only have to say one thing about one team. In all my years, I have not seen a team like 148, very calm and collected, very respectful to everyone and a lot of fun to play with. I was impressed not only by the presence on the field and in the stands but in every single pit in dallas. I know someone else mentioned this too, seeing you guys have clear off the field was great to see.

Other than that, I am glad to see all the rookie teams and maybe we will try to return next year for another fun year, hopefully it wont be snowing again :)

Thanks all and see you in Atlanta.

Thanks Matt, for all of the compliments. Having nothing for you to do in the finals was exactly what we wanted :). Your scoring ability was formidable and we needed to shut you down. The alliance of 1429, 704, and 2352 was a great and well rounded alliance, y'all did great.

Congratulations on being a Dean's List Finalist, Matt. Your dedication and hard work for not only your team but for the mission of FIRST makes you very deserving of this honor, great job.

We had a great time in Dallas. Thank you to the RPC, judges and volunteers who made this event happen. The robot play was amazing to watch, and the spirit was contagious. We made some new friends and got to see some old, and came home with some wonderful awards. We are especially grateful for Dean being honored with the Woody Flowers. He was a great friend, teacher, mentor and human being. The world is a better place for him having been here to touch so many live, young and old alike. It took us about 23 hours to make it home to Paola, and we were all exhausted, but we had a blast, and look forward to seeing "you all" again! Congrats to the finalists and winners. Thanks to our wonderful alliance partners. And, 1817-keep on dancing!

And, 2016...all I can say is, "WOW!". Good luck in Atlanta. You are an amazing team! So glad we got to know you guys.

It wasn't just at the regional. Their spirit was contagious in the webcast chat. One of the moms was doing the wave. It was hysterical. She was also cheering. I think the cheer went something like 20... 16 and then she would repeat. I can't remember what symbol(s) she was using for the wave but I was rolling.

Thank you all again for your kind words, the spirit of our entire team was lifted by visiting dallas, not only due to the awards but more so due to the atmosphere and support you guys provided..

coming from the northeast, I must admit sometimes we forget the small things in life as it moves soo fast here, it was good to slow down for a week, coming back here almost feels like a different pace to me.

Matt, you were a great driver and you guys had an amazing robot, you guys will surely look to do well in Houston. Also congrats on the deans list nomination..

1108 - I wanted to say you guys are a team to model after, all your chairmans award, we saw your pit and were amazed at your consistency and hope to become something like you guys.. Congrats on your WFA!!

like i said earlier there were a lot of strong rookie contenders in dallas and it promises to become a tough regional in years to come.

and again thanks to all you guys for making us feel welcome and at home, away from home.
