Now that we are back home and I have had some time to relax...

The 2014 Peachtree regional was wonderful and Team 108 SigmaC@T had a great time in Atlanta.

First off all, I want to thank the regional committee for putting up such a great regional. One of the members of the regional committee was in touch with us prior to the event answering all the questions and welcoming us to Atlanta. Thanks to all the volunteers who put in so many hours to make this happen. We gave the inspectors hard time however they were so patient and worked with us. The LRI Jeff has done an absolute awesome job with his inspector crew. The referees answered all our questions and kept us on the same page. Also, The two ladies sitting at the practice table helped us getting on the field many times to practice. I think this is the first time ever we were able to get on a practice field so many times at a 65 team regional. The planning committee did a great job.

We want to thank all the teams that have cheered with us and for us. Thanks to team 1648 for talking strategy with us and for being an amazing alliance partner during qualifying match. I wish we got to play together again. Thanks to another Motorola Solutions team 1261 for welcoming us and the advice their mentors have passed on to us. It was nice to meet Kellen Hill finally in person and coach a match next to him. Your team 1746 are sporting a great Team JVN machine.

Congratulations to team 2974 for winning the Chairmans award and to team 79 for winning the Engineering Inspiration award.

Thanks to team 3318, 2974, and 4189 for some memorable final matches. You guys were a great alliance to compete with. Good luck to team 3318 at the championship.

To our alliance partners ... team 2283 and team 1683, thank you for making us a complete alliance with a great strategy. One of our team members scouted 2283 from the mexico regional and we were watching them the whole regional. We knew we wanted them if they were available. Team 1683 was a steal for our second pick and they have dominated on the field defending our opposing alliance. Good luck to the both of you at the championship event. It was a privilege to be able to pick your team and win the regional. Thank you thank you thank you.

We hope to come back soon and visit our georgia friends.
