Re: Thoughts of Chesapeake Regional...

First off we would like to thank team 11 for giving us the oppurtunity to participate in the finals by picking us ... we had a blast ... it was great ... "that is what counts" - Mr. Finkel

The scale seemed to have issues with everyone ... we were over weight plus we had the first match of the day everyday ... so we missed all of our thursday matches and the first match on friday ... The judges didnt even let go like 2 ounces over ... so much for "... the judge's discretion ..."

then it turned out we had major problems with our wheels on the carpet ... after a few matches the great Mr.Finkel came up with the idea to use pneumatics tubing with tie-raps in them and tie em around the wheels so they r like omni-wheels ... it helped a lot and we saw a few other teams using the Finkel invention ...

Overall it was a great regional ... had a lot of fun ... we're going to the nyc regional to watch this weekend ... lets see how that goes ...
