Re: 2013 Alamo Regional
I was just inspecting at the event but it was one of the most memorable events in recent history.
4603 had their robot stolen during shipment and so many teams worked together to get them not only a running robot, but a shooting and hanging robot. 3481 helped them at their shop before the event. 1592 and 801 gave them their spare hangers. 2587 donated their shooter. 2587 and 1592 ended up picking 4603 for the eliminations which is just an awesome story. I know many more teams helped them but those are the ones I know about.
I want to thank all the out of town teams for being great representatives of FIRST. 801 and 1592 were fine examples of FIRST teams, they quickly became two of my go to teams to get help for teams in need. They also provided a steady stream of jumpers to get all the teams sending battery voltage back to their driver station. Thank you guys and please come back often.
1987 congratulations on the Chairman's Award win. Your team is just awesomely nice. Every interaction I had with your students and mentors was just really pleasant. Your students are always willing to help and are extremely respectful. Thank you for being awesome and I hope to see you at more Texas events in the future.
1477 thank you for your help getting teams through inspection. I love working events where your competing because you always make my Thursday night easier. I know that all your students will be working with the teams that haven't gotten through inspection yet. Also your robot was awesome the whole regional. The industrial design award is very well deserved and your ability to improve through out the season is so impressive. I can't wait to play with you again during the off-season.
Congratulations 2468, 4063 and 2789. 2468, I'll admit that I wasn't a believer in the full court shooter but you guys played a very impressive full court cycle game, it kept the defense on you but ineffective and left 4063 completely open to run their game. TriKzR4Kidz, 4063, I told you at the event and I'll say it again you all are going to be the first real powerful team from the south of Texas if you keep on the track that you are on. From your infectious image to your extremely gracious behavior and actions your going to be in the mix at every event that you go to. I was thrilled that you got the GP award again, very well deserved. 2789 great job once again, your driving and strategy seems to step up to a new level during eliminations.
3478 congratulations on the Engineering Inspiration award, great job. You all are fine representatives to spread FIRST and STEM through out your country.
Thanks to everyone for making Alamo an awesome event. I can't wait till next year.
