As a recent transplant here to Georgia, this was my first Peachtree Regional. I have to say, y'all run a pretty great event (did I use that right?
). A huge thank you to all the volunteers who kept the weekend running smoothly. We got a little behind on Friday night, but we made up the time on Saturday morning and had alliance selections pretty darn close to on time. Thanks especially to Head Inspector and 3573 mentor Bob Tate, Head Ref Jan Spurlin and the FTA whose name I embarrassingly didn't catch.
3573 wants to send out a HUGE thank you to team 122 for sharing your minibot and putting in a ton of work trying to help us get it up the pole. We wish we could have gotten it up there for you more than the one time.
We also want to thank our alliance partners 2420 and 122(again!) for a great run in the eliminations. It was great to work with both of you guys!
Congratulations to the winners 2415, 1771, and 2815. I'm hoping we gave you at least a tiny scare in that first semifinal match when we had the lead for a bit
. 3 great robots, you guys certainly deserved it.
Congrats as well to Chairman's winner 122, Rookie All-Star winner 3694, WFFA recipient Joanne Talmadge and Dean's list finalist recipients Alex Epstein and Rick Shanor.
