What a fantastic regional. I got to shake hands with Sergey Brin! His Dad was a judge and I had a chance to talk to him as well. The finals came down to the number 1 seed edging out the number 2 seed. There were a number of super teams including 254, 971, 1868 and the Warrior Borgs 3256? It is interesting that the mentors for 254, 971 and 1868 are all FIRST Alumni. Can you say SVR Dynasty? I knew you could.

PS. Long term FIRST supporter Joe Hering is ailing. Joe was instrumental in providing NASA support since 1999. If you ever watched a webcast of a FIRST event it was because Joe put his whole soul into supporting all FIRST teams, and getting the word out. Please say a prayer or send good thoughts his way.

PPS. Mark Leon needs new jokes - Someone should start a Mark needs new Jokes thread on Chief Delphi.
