Re: Fingerlakes Regional:2014
What a great event the 10th FLR turned out to be.
Congrats to 1511 on winning the Chairman's award. It couldn't have gone to a more deserving team. You guys were great when we were planing our elimination alliance. Too bad for that monkey wrench, thanks for being so gracious and understanding when things changed. Can't wait to see you guys at Championship. Rolling Thunder is a class act and it was our pleasure to work with you. You have made 340 a better team.
Thanks to 3015 and 3044 for making up such a great alliance. I couldn't believe it when you guys pulled off the upset in the first round of the finals in a 2 vs 3 match. I was shocked we were able to get our main drive shaft replaced in the short time we had. That FLR winners banner will have to wait one more year. 3015 thanks for picking us. You guys will make a tough team to knock down at champs.
1507, 20, and 378. What an amazing alliance you made. The statue pass was amazing. You guys showed grace and everything FIRST is all about in the finals. Thanks. I hope to see you on Einstein.
Josh and Eric, you made a great team on the mic's. The play of the weekend had to go to Josh running play-by-play and deflecting a ball from the scorer's table at the same time.
Congrats to 4930 for winning their 2nd Rookie-All-Star Award of the season. You have a great robot and a solid foundation. I look forward to competing with you for many years to come.
My favorite moment of the weekend came on Friday afternoon when Justin Montois won the Woodie Flowers Award. You are an inspiration and have kept me going more times than I can count. You have made our team better in ways that will be in place for years to come.
For those of you counting, either a B+L or Xerox team has been in the finals every year of the event. 1126 has been to the finals 5 times with 1 win, and 340 has made it there 5 times with 0 wins. and yet, 1507 has won the event 3 times ( every time beating a 340 alliance) and 174 won it 3 straight times.
With the exception of 1 year, either 1511 or 340 has taken home the Chairman's award and 5 of the 10 EI's at FLR.
Not a bad 10 years FLR.
