Re: Smoky Mountain Regional 2011

This was a rookie regional? You would never know it. Fantastic venue and volunteers (even though the pit announcer's Elmo imitation got old by Thursday afternoon I would recommend this regional to all teams. I hope this regional fits our schedule again next year.

Even though our qualification schedule was reminiscent of the 2007 AOD, I was very proud of how our team pushed through and never stopped trying to do our best.

Special thanks to 931 for loaning us a minibot. They even let us use it against them. GP at it's finest.

What a great alliance, I really thought we had a chance to win out of the sixth spot. My friends on the #1 alliance told me they were rooting for the #2 alliance to beat us because they didn't want to face us in the finals.

1592, thanks for picking us. Your whole team was a joy to work with and it was so much fun being aligned with our practice partners from 1024. As a group we battled through great adversity after that first match fiasco and showed what we were made of.

To our buddies from 1741, absolutely no hard feelings, we love you guys.
