How could I forget?, but then that is one of the teams I always think of by name rather than number. I kind of thought that it should be familiar, but just couldn't place it at the time.

831 is a Hawaiian team- Mililani- they were partnered with the Sea Dawgs and team 840 at SVR.

I don't think we've met 831 yet. But your information confirms my point. That some very good West Coast teams are missing from these top ten lists, possibly because they are west coast teams. Not to imply any deliberate slight on the part of others, it is just that we don't associate much with more eastern teams and so tend to be less well known. The BeachBots went to IRI last year (and had a great time in spite of a marginally functional robot) specifically to get to know some of the other teams that would be playing there. This year we might be back, but we might go to a different off-season comp instead, just to meet different teams. It depends somewhat on finances and interest.

It was a blast and definitely wouldn't have happened were it not for some really great people whom I am in debt to for a long time. Thanks guys- you know who you are!!

I'm glad you had a good time. Come back anytime. Not that I had anything to do with it. But I was glad to see you in person.
