WOW.....how much more amazing do you think one regional could be....

I would like to thank a few teams/people for their continued support....making my senior year and last regional as a student the best possible....

Team 341:You guys are AWESOME pit partners...we always feel like a family with you guys around and appreciate everything all of you do for us...Congrats on the Chairmans....You deserve every bit of it....
Carol Kauffman: You're amazing thank u for everything....
Jim Moore: I mean what can i say....where would this regional be without you...
Jeff: Awesome MC....you made it fun..thanks
Al Ostrow, Dina Campagna, and Jimmy Hayne- What can i say...amazing people..."Brothers dont shake hands, brothers gotta hug!!"

And Of course....
Jules Scogna- Our Industrial Design Engineer from Synthees....its been an amazing tournament...and you're time with us and me has taught me more than i would have playing baseball...
Ken Wilson- Our Lead Engineer, Mechanical Engineer from PECO....It's your dedication and you passion for FIRST and for the improvement of the students that keeps us going....
Chris Gerlach- On and off the field your enthusiasm and passion make everything worth it....
Mr. Ken Delaney- math teacher and lead programmer....we have been through it all together...the ups the downs...and the in betweens and through it all we you're always there to support me...thank u for not giving up...
Mr. David Peterkin- You keep me sane....enough said....and you've taught me everything...
My Dad- thank u for being crazy enough to get involved when Mrs Kaufman asked you to...i don't know where id be without FIRST

This was quite possibly the best regional Ive attended in 4 years and I'm glad to have been apart of for so long....the spirit...comradery...

its the only event Ive ever been to where we lose matches with 6 points...and teams crowd around our pit to look at our robot...and ask if there is anything they can do to help...teams that were involved or not...that is what FIRST is all about...not the winning and the losing...but the co-operation....thats the definition....thank u
