Re: 2012 Hawaii Regional
On behalf of the entire Hawaii robotics community, I would like to thank Alan and Carol (sp?) Anderson (Team 45 the TechnoKats) for volunteering at our event. I was correct in believing that I couldn't handle being the lead Control System Advisor at my team's first competition. I was greatly relieved when Alan volunteered to take the lead leaving me to be the back-up. Carol did a great job on the green shirt safety team.

All day Thursday and Friday morning, Alan didn't have much down time. He was always moving from one team to another keeping things moving and solving problems much more quickly than I could have. A number of times I encountered problems that I knew that I couldn't handle quickly. I called Alan for help. It is humbling to find out that things that you "know" are dead wrong. Without Alan's help, there are a number of teams that couldn't have competed or would have competed with "crippled" bots.

Again Thank You both, enjoy the remainder of your time in Hawaii, and I look forward to seeing you at IRI,
Randy Wood
