Hey Chubtoad-
You gotta be kidding about the last rounds! Moving Moe is no mean feat. If your machine didn't block them in place whenever we got back to make a run at the turning goal we could never have moved anybody. As we backed off to run at the goal they could have shot forward. They almost did. Remember- we can't go deliberately crashing into the arms in light of deliberate damage.
We know from our last experience with Moe that it takes two to move the monster. Once they anchor their grippers it is hard to move them at all. You have no reason to regret.
Thanks for being our partner. You deserve the trophy as much as the rest of us.
(PS- thanks for all the nice compliments from everybody on the trophies. You all know we have the "Aloha from NJ" theme. In 1999 we wanted to getthe team to Orlando for the first time and that was a part of our positive mindset transition. So Hawaiian has become a part of our team identity
The tikis on top are from a distributer in Honolulu. They are plastic, not wood, but I can't tell easily. Jesse Perry ( the crazy midfield dancer Mr. Volcano runner up) made the bases in his shop class. The plaques (sorry if they are loose) were engraved in the metal shop at BMS. The project was a team effort.
Oddly- team 25 probably does more business in Honolulu than in NJ. The shirt manufacturer, Royal Hawaiian Creations, has been a supporter of ours for the last 5 years and we send them pix of our events and accomplishments. From what I hear they are as much a part of the team as we are and they post the team group shots all around the factory.
