Amy, you are great. You are doing a better job than I could've done. It is not a hard job to give up when we all see that you are awesome at coaching the drive team.

Hey FIRSTers (especially you gals), here is a mentor you can look up to. She's cool, she's smart, she's even a mechanical engineer! Does she take crap off of the pit crew? No! Does she keep the drive team in line? Yeah! She's Amy - the new TechnoKat field coach.

As for thank-yous...

Thanks to team 269 for picking us in the finals. You are awesome partners with an incredible ability to hang from afar. Special thanks go out to Ricky - an awesome driver, communicator, and alliance captain. It's great that 269 gets to go to Championships now.

Thanks to team 930, who always have a great team and awesome robot. They simply showed dominance on the bar in the finals.

(by the way, get these hometowns of this alliance: Oconomowoc, Kokomo, Mukwonago. Say that 3 times fast and it sounds like you're speaking Klingon!)

Thanks to teams 217, 27, and 111 for having a great breakfast tailgate. Thanks to Jennifer Copioli for letting Paul bring the fryer. Someone MUST post the picture of the Thunderchicken, in a chicken suit, frying the chicken wings... hilarious.

Thanks to team 65 for being very gracious and tough competitors. These guys should win the Phoenix Award for recovering so well after GLR.

Great job to team 234, Cyberblue for winning the Midwest Regional Chairman's Award. These guys and gals are an awesome team, and could be the favorites to win it all at Atlanta. Not only do they host a great competition in the summer (bigger and better this summer, by the way), but they have an awesome mentoring program and outreach effort. This team is turning into the model for FIRST teams to follow.

Excellent job to team 447, Team Roboto from Anderson, Indiana. These guys fought through adversity to make it to the finals and played hard to the end - even bending their arm and blowing out a knee in the process. 447 is always there to lend a hand and is another great Indiana team.

There are soo many more that need attention, but this is it for now. It was great to see a great FIRST game entertain so many people in Chicago. Congrats to all who made it work.

Andy B.
