Amazing Rookies

I wish everyone could have a feeling like I had today.

I've been working with the Finger Lakes Regional New team development committee for 1.5 years leading up to this weekend.

We had 7 rookies from the area attend the regional.
1507 - Regional Finalist
1511 - Rookie All Star
1518
1551 - Judges award
1559 - Highest Rookie Seed and another award... I'll get back to you
1567 - Judges award
1591

1518, 1591 - I can tell you'll be right in the hunt next year.

I am SOOOO proud of all the amazing rookies we had at the Finger Lakes Regional. They ALL stepped up and not only competed with amazing robots, but also fit right in with the t-shirts, mascots, pins and banners.

All year these rookie teams have supported each other, through emails and seminars. I had hoped they were adequately prepared. I had no idea I'd be so blown away.

I hope at some point to be able to share all their amazing stories.
