Wow. Just got home, had an amazing time. First time our team placed in the top 8 anywhere! Amazing job to MOE and LuNaTeCs.

Also, thank you to our alliance! (who gave us the cookies...? they were delicious haha). hope to play with you guys again. As we speak I'm uploading some match videos to our youtube.

You can watch them here in the Duel on the Delaware playlist.

Oh, and we'd also like to thank 1218 for the MOST AMAZING double climb ever. EVER. (qualification 7, check it out when its up)

P.S. I found the fro's car :O

Great event as always! Awesome job MOE, Lunatecs and the rest of the volunteer crew. Thanks to 007 for picking us and 433 for making up the alliance, sorry we couldn't make it work out.

And let me be the first to say congratulations to John Larock on winning DMV! I'm surprised you don't get that every year. Great job and thanks for all you do.

Re: Duel on the Delaware 2010 - Official Information
 

Yes 1218 had a fantastic hanging set up -- they hung more than any other team in the event.

As I also discovered, their robot also kicks very hard :P

Re: Duel on the Delaware 2010 - Official Information
 

Thanks! We had a great time and were glad we made it. This was our first off-season in the fall, and we hope to do it again next year. The event ran smoothly (if a bit longer than expected!!). Great partnering with you, as always. See you in the spring.

On Behalf of Team 433, I want to thank MOE and Lunatecs for another great! Duel on the Deleware.

We always use Duel as an introductory FIRST event for our new members and all the Firebirds (especially the rookies) had a great time yesterday

I hope I will be able to come to Duel next year as mentor on 433 :D

Thanks
