Re: Thanks / Congrats for 2011 NJ regional

A few thoughts from the lucky perspectives I have...

From the FSM side of things - The regional completely rocked! The NJ FIRST Planning Committee is full of exceptional professionals who all want nothing but the best for the students who attend the event and it completely shows through the flawless execution of the regional. We're lucky to have the support we have from our volunteers, all the best we could ask for!

From the team coach perspective - This was the first time we brought FRC2729 (3rd year) to the regional and our students loved it! They loved the camaraderie, networking, and gracious professionalism demonstrated by teams in attendance. With the team being one that is relatively young, they learned a lot from all of the veteran teams that will really allow them to improve moving forward.

Also, a special thanks to teams 1218 and 192 for being such awesome alliance partners. Sorry things didn't work out past semifinals, we were certainly a tough force to be reckoned with.

Good luck to everyone in the next few weeks of competition!
