Re: 2013 Finger Lakes Regional
I'm going to start off by thanking all of the Volunteers to making this event happen. Without you none of us would be able to experience this wonderful event,and for that we are all thankful. A special thanks for the MC Angry Eric, who was entertaining and fun, being the face of the regional.

Teams 1507 & 578 - It was great being on an alliance with you. We worked great together and almost came up with a way to beat the eventual tournament champions. It was our pleasure and hopefully we will have a chance to do it again.

Teams 3003, 1405 & 1559 - All I can say is WOW! You guys impressed me immensely. 1559, that triple hang came out of nowhere, and made a huge difference, and consistent scoring and defense when needed from 1405 and 3003 when needed. You went up against some great competition and came out on top as the 3rd seed. That is something to be very proud of. Congrats on to the whole alliance for getting that blue banner, especially 3003 on that first blue banner. Hopefully there will be many more in the future.

All Elimination Teams- You made for one of the most exciting semi-finals, that I have ever seen. You should all be really proud of your robots, and know that they could all have won this regional if a few more disks had gone the other way.

Finally to my team 2809 - These past 4 years as a mentor have been a journey. The adversity we have overcome is incredible. Without our teachers this year, we managed to knuckle up, and still build a successful robot and keep doing everything we do well. I want to extend a HUGE thanks to all our kids for putting in the extra work that was required of them. Finally after 2 years of winning Engineering Inspiration, we finally made it through the barrier to win our first Chairman's Award. Everyone on 2809, hold your heads high and know you have accomplished something special, lets keep this spirit up going to GTR east this coming weekend.

For anyone who wants to see our Chairman's video

Thanks again for a great regional, and best of luck in your other competitions this year.
