But now in 2011, they have come full circle. Congrats on your Palmetto win and finalists appearance at VCU. If it wasn't for those New Jersey teams you would have two blue banners going into the championship . 2363 is the best robot coming out of Virginia this year, look out for them at championships.
Thanks for the kind words! Our team has worked really hard to pull ourselves up the learning curve as quickly as possible. While we still have a way to go, it's been nice to be recognized as much as we have been the last few weeks. We seriously felt like rock stars at Palmetto, and we made so many new friends. It all still seems like a dream in so many ways. Our tally over the last two weeks:

Palmetto Regional Winners
Palmetto Regional Engineering Excellence Award
Virginia Regional Finalists
Virginia Regional Woodie Flowers Award
Virginia Regional Industrial Design Award
Virginia Regional Dean's List Award (Michael Snider)

Not a bad couple of weeks and our first trip to the Championship awaits! What more could we ask for??
