Re: Alamo Memories And Thank Yous
2468 had a great time at San Antonio Alamo Regional. It was a very well run and organized event.
It was great to have the FTC and FRC at the same venue. It was fun for my FTC to have the FRC team come over to support them while they competed. When the FTC tournament was over, we put them to work scouting for the FRC team.
It is always good to have Blair as the MC.
The level of competition was outstanding with the veteran teams present (57, 118, 148, 647, 1296, 1429, 1477, 2158, 2583, 2587 and 2789. The usuals from Texas as well as having Bomb Squad (16), Adambots (245) and WiredCats (2415) there.
It was a great experience for all the Rookie teams to get on the field and compete. Thanks to all the veteran teams who helped these teams get their robot inspected and running on the field.
Teams such as 16, 118, 148, 1477 and 2583 continue to inspire our team to reach for new heights.
I had three students spend three hours visiting with teams about outreach, fundraising, team continuity and sustainability. I look forward to our debrief of what they found out. It is always so rewarding to evaluate what we learned after each regional.
We wish were competing one more time this year. I wish each team good luck at the other regionals you compete at. We will be at home watching the webcasts of each regional. It will be interesting to see how the matches will play out as the season progresses.
I am disappointed I did not get a chance to touch base with RSisk. Thanks to you and your wife for coming down to help with the inaugural event in San Antonio.
Great kudos go out to Andrew Schuetze, Mike Henry and Patrick Felty for organizing such a great tournament. Jess Jankowitsch did a great job organizing the volunteers as well. I glad to hear she got a ride home from San Antonio with her team. :-)
