The North Carolina Regional was really fun! Thank you to all the volunteers, judges, and the NC Planning committee for making the event so great!
The Flying Platypi would like to thank...
#435 The Robodogs for being such a gracious and fun team. It has been great working with you this past year and I can't wait to see you in St. Louis! (You were also the only team I knew that had a black sharpie and we now both know you can break a sharpie! I hope we gave it back to you.)
#281 EnTech Green Villains Congratulations on the IE award. I was extremely impressed by your community outreach and I am glad you were recognized. It was fun sharing a row in the pits with you and I am looking forward to also seeing you in St. Louis!
1225 & 527 for picking us! We had a terrible time with our robot and we are grateful that you picked us.
3196 SPORK for lending us a Tetrix motor after our second one burnt out. I love your team and imagery!
I'm probably forgetting some teams but a HUGE thank you to all the teams present. You could practically feel in gracious professionalism in the (cool/humid/very cold) air!
Congratulations to 2415, 2751, and 3506 for winning! You guys were really fun to watch!
Was any of the regional footage archived? I missed the only time my team was able to deploy a minibot.

Receiving Chairman's was the biggest shock for our team. This was our second time submitting and we never thought we would be honored in such a way. When the MC was reading the description I looked around and saw one of our presentation crew in tears she was so happy. (I also apologize for the screech in the beginning of the award description. I couldn't keep my mouth shut.
) The whole team is looking forward to the Championship event and we can't wait to see what we can accomplish in years to come.
