[Mr MOE]

Thanks to 1647 and 2729 for once again holding a great event!

Congrats/thanks to

All the wonderful volunteers who ran the event. There were some stops and starts, but we ended on time each day. Great job!

2729 - Congrats on your Chairman's win! Well deserved. You have a terrific team! Love the video! Sorry we missed some of the audio. Is it up on YouTube?

321 - Congratulations on the Engineering Inspiration Award! Thanks for inspiring so many!

316, 2729,2495 - Congrats on your win! Once all the alliance pairings were complete, I knew your alliance was the one to beat. You played so well together.

225 - Kudos on your strategy and execution! Your team changed this event. I have never seen so many 60-84" robot modifications before! I was amazed by your accuracy shooting full-court 3-pointers in the semi-finals. Wow!

1089 and 433 - Thanks for being our alliance partners. It was by no means an easy ride, but we all did what we needed to to get our alliance to the finals. Sara, thanks for the excellent strategy input. Firebirds comp team - thanks for giving us the final "push" which resulted in our MOE hang in the final seconds. You almost got a 10-pointer too! That's what teamwork is all about. I loved the alliance cheering coming together in the stands with the MOE wobblies, FIREBIRDS letters, and 1089 numbers all together. That made me smile.

Lenape Woodie Flowers Finalist Award Nominees - The teams in attendance at this event have some awesome mentors! You should all be very proud and thankful to be working with them. I was happy to be able to announce their names. Good luck at MAR Championship! To all teams, please recognize your mentors by nominating them every season! These people do so much. This is a great way to say THANK YOU for all you do.

Lenape is a great venue for a MAR event and a favorite of MOE 365.

To all teams, have a memorable rest of the 2013 season!

John
