Re: 2014 Tech Valley Regional

What a great job done by all those that worked to organize the event. I love the venue. Just need to work out some parking issues and add some more food options so people do not have to wait 30 minutes for a cup of coffee.

1493 had our best regional to date-
Kudos to the current and former students for writing the essay that earned Paul Schoch the WFA. I have never meet a nicer man who would give anyone the shirt off his back.

Very proud of our students and the hard work they put into the robot. After Thursday I do not think any of our 3 mentors touched the robot or had to tell the students to do anything. They handled Friday and Sat almost on their own.

I think we were much better then the 24th ranked team but that is the nature of the beast this year with having to rely on partners so much. I can see how scouting is so important this year.

Could never figure out why our auto worked 100% on practice field and then was about 50% on the field. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hope to make a few improvements (2 ball auto) for FLR and looks forward to seeing everyone again.

Congrats to all the local teams for representing the area so well. Team 20 once you got your robot dialed in on Friday you were the class of the regional IMO. 250 probably played some of the smartest matches all weekend and used great strategy to come out on top very often. 3044 I am so impressed how far your team has come, congrats on the team spirit award. 2791 I hope you can fix your arm issues, having seen you at the practice field and how great it was working. I can only hope others get to see it at FLR.

Lastly I would like to thank 379 and 3003 for selecting us to partner with. That second match really showed what we could do. If only we could have repeated it for the 3rd match. Best of luck to both of you
